How would you perform the role of Nils Krogstad, on the two occasions when he is alone with Nora, in order to reveal his scheming nature? During the two scenes I have written about we see Krogstad’s scheming nature, he has certain motives, whether they be to make Nora feel guilty or to make her feel threaten, acting skills can be used to achieve them. Krogstad enters with the line “Excuse me, Mrs helmer”, to show his scheming nature, I would knock on the door, three slow, loud knocks, before slowly opening the door and delivering the line in a low pitched and slow paced tone to create an eary mood. I picture Torvald as a tall and broad man, wearing all black clothing, staring sternly at Nora with a smile growing on his face with his hands folded, this image of Krogstad shows him as an imposing and suspicious character. In response to Nora’s shock at his unexpected appearance, Krogstad should act calmly, when delivering the line “Excuse me, the outer door was ajar: I suppose someone forgot to shut it” so that the difference between the two’s feelings are shown, Nora is scared and shocked whilst Krogstad is calm and unnerved. To show his scheming nature, i would deliver this line quietly and slowly with his movement and tone of voice completely calm, stressing the word “forgot” and smiling as he says this word, to suggest that the door was not open and he opened it. Krogstad’s posture should be firm and straight, staring straight into Nora’s eyes, both his posture and eye contact should be intimidating. Krogstad’s apparent interest in Mrs Linde, shows his scheming nature, he is only asking after her because he wants to know if it is she that has take his job. “May i make so bold as to ask if it was a Mrs. Linde?”, when delivering this line I would speak confidently, in a strong and steady voice. I would walk across the room to show that he wants Nora to believe
