'The relation between Mrs. Linde's arrival' and 'Nora's awakening and transformation':
Mrs. Linde who is an old friend of Nora returns to Nora’s life after ten long years. She has changed a lot after losing her husband whom she was married to only be able to take care of her ailing mother and raising her two brothers.
Now being all alone, she seeks the help of Nora to request her to get a position in the bank as she wanted to help her family. This, however, turned out to be a 'turning point' in Nora’s character.
Linde acts as a dramatic foil and Nora realizes how irresponsible Linde had been towards her dying father and in her childhood. She also realises that she was only a doll in the hands of her husband. Therefore she decides to change after being reawakened.
