Gender is defined as sexual identity, especially in relation to society or culture; the condition of being a woman or a man; sex; females or males considered as a group: expressions used by a single gender. Performance is defined as the act of performing a ceremony, play, piece of music, etc. ; the execution or accomplishment of works, acts, feats, etc.; a particular action, act or procedure; the act of executing; or the manner or effectiveness with which something responds or fulfills its purpose. (Butler, 1997). The theme of gender is a theme that can be seen in any form of performance, be it theater, music, dance, television, cinema, etc. Gender differences can be emphasized by actors and directors in multiple ways, some of which we will examine now. In this particular scene, we see a gender conflict between Nora and Krogstad's characters. We see Nora assuring Krogstad that she will pay off all her loans by the new year and asks him to leave her alone. Krogstad implies that he doesn't just care about money; his position at the bank is very important to him. He talks about a “serious mistake” he made, which ruined his reputation and made it very difficult to advance his career. Nora responds that although it would be unpleasant for her husband to discover that she borrowed from Krogstad, Torvald would repay the loan and relations with Krogstad would end. Additionally, Krogstad would lose his job. Krogstad says Nora has other worries: he discovered that Nora forged her father's signature on the promissory note. Krogstad informs Nora that her forgery is a serious offense, similar to the one that tainted her reputation in the first place. Nora dismi...... middle of paper ......e delivered".
