Christine Linde has been much less sheltered from the world than Nora. As an outsider and a worldlier person, explain how she sees the relationship of Dr. Rank and Nora?  Account for the difference in her and Nora’s views of Dr. Rank as a source of financ

Just a bunch of random ideas for you to springboard off: Linde is an outsider, Ibsen's embodiement of the New Woman. Although character's such as Krogstad are used, coupled with the harsh Norwegian weather outside, to demonstrate the dnagers outside of the domestic sphere, Linde has learnt to survive. She does, therefore (as Nora never leaves the home) almost have the perceptive nature of a man (re-inforce through her job at the bank, providing for mother, etc.). She is possibly not fully aware of the extent of Nora and Rank's relationship, due to their class difference. Rank is blind to social difficulties and sickness, which is ironic, as he himself is diseased - he doesn't understand Linde, and as a result, she fails to understand him. He seems to be a symbolic figure to represent the decline of Nora and Helmer's relationship - in Linde's comments of "What gentleman?" etc. you could potentially argue that she recognises the cracks appearing in the surface, rather than her thinking that Nora is seeing a secret lover.
