Critically assess the role of Mrs. Linde and Krogstad in the plot of Ibsen's A Doll's House.

As one of the leaders of the realist movement in drama, Henrik Ibsen earned his reputation for creating plays that accurately depict the details of ordinary peoples' lives. The first two acts of A Doll's House are safe territory, following the accepted conventions of dramatic writing in Ibsen's portrayal of life in a lavish Victorian household. The third and final act, however, features a groundbreaking breach of tradition, as it ignores both the conventional rules drama and the social conventions of its era. While many critics have discussed Nora Helmer's shocking decision to abandon her household in the play's final scene, the overlooked beginning of the third act is a pivotal turning point in the play's progression.
