Page "A Doll's House" Paragraph 12

Christine tells Krogstad that she only married her husband because she had no other means to support her sick mother and young siblings, and that she has returned to offer him her love again.

She believes that he would not have stooped to unethical behavior if he had not been devastated by her abandonment and in dire financial straits.

Krogstad is moved and offers to take back his letter to Torvald.

However, Christine decides that Torvald should know the truth for the sake of his and Nora's marriage.
