"I Must Stand Quite Alone"
Captions available
The idea
Nora tells Helmer she must stand quite alone if she is to understand herself and everything about her, and that for this reason she cannot remain with him any longer. The sentence is plain, and its plainness is what makes it final.
In practice
Plain, and therefore final.
Where people slip
The plainness carries the weight.
