At the Helmers, Kristina becomes Nora's confidante and helper as she tries to resolve her problems with Krogstad, the bank, and her husband. She believes Nora must be truthful with her husband and develop a sense of independence, as she has done. Nora on the other hand is treated like a child by her husband. There is animosity with Nora. I'm really not sure who is better off. They are both pretty miserable.
