There are major opposing moral views between characters in Henrik Ibsen 's dramatic play A Doll 's House. One moral trail leads to the conclusion that once someone commits a bad deed, there is no saving them; that person is now a low-life degenerate with no redemption in sight. The other side falls under a much more sympathetic view. They believe that the goodness of a person, whether it comes from who they once were, or who they are now, can help them overcome their mistakes and become truly good again. If brought to trial, through Torvald 's close-minded views on how people are, the sympathy of Krogstad 's children, Ms. Linde 's views on Krogstad 's character, and the words of Krogstad himself, the accusation of Krogstad 's moral degeneracy

It may not seem all that logical on the surface, but Krogstad 's little kids could have a tremendous impact on the overall feeling and ultimate verdict on Krogstad 's accusations of moral degeneracy. When asked what they think about their father, the children would not respond with fear or accusations of their daddy being an immoral guy who does not love them. They would respond like any little kid would respond. Their daddy might be a little big and scary, but that is normal. All daddy 's are. Despite his sternness, he is still a loving father to his little kids. Despite Torvald 's claims, there is no evidence to support the idea that Krogstad is “poisoning” his children with lies and deception. It is likely Krogstad 's children do not even know that he tried to lie and cheat his way into better financial status. Even if they do know, their father is not telling them that he believes what he did was a good thing. The fact still remains that, all things considered, Krogstad is still a loving father who has his children 's best interests in mind. It is worth noting at this point that Krogstad is not alone in this situation. Nora, Torvald 's own wife, is in the exact same boat as Krogstad. She forged signatures to help heal her husband. She also has little children. Children that, by all known accounts, love her very much. In Nora 's case, there is no evidence to prove that she does anything to poison her kids with lies. This fact can be proven even further by bringing Nora and her children to the stand to show the judge and jury members how much her children love their mother. Calling Krogstad and Nora 's children as witnesses helps show the fact that Torvald 's opinion is quite one-sided, with very little support, other than the fact that Krogstad lied, to back the way he feels about the situation. Setting the witnesses up in this way helps Krogstad 's case immensely, especially in disproving the
