In this play, a broken hairpin is discovered by a mailbox that contains two letters marked with black crosses. (10[2]-5[1])A year-long trip to Italy saved the life of a character from this play. (10[2]-5[1])In this play, (10[2])a fisher-girl (10[1])costume is sewn so a character nicknamed (10[1])“my little (10[1])squirrel” (10[2])can (10[1])dance (10[1])the tarantella (10[3])at a ball. To keep (10[1])his (10[1])bank job, Krogstad (10[1])blackmails (10[3])the protagonist (10[1]-5[1])of this play over forging her (10[1])father’s (10[1])signature. For 10 points, the sound of a door slamming ends (-5[1])what Henrik (10[2])Ibsen play about (10[1])Nora (10[1])Helmer? ■END■ (10[6]0[1])
