In Act II, we see quite a bit going on, and it seems to be the climax of the story. We see Torvald belittle women once again when he says " is it to get about now that the new manager has changed his mind at his wife's bidding." We learn that Torvald expedited Krogstad's dismissal, and thus we see Nora acting really out of sorts as she tries harder and harder to maker sure Torvald never learns her secret- even going as far as to pretend she has no clue how to do the Tarantella to stop Torvald from reading the letter that Krogstad left. Finally, the Act leaves us with Nora stating "Thirty-One" hours to live- so us as readers are left wanting to know- is she going to commit suicide? Will Krogstad kill her? Or is it hypothetical- that she believes

The carriage clattered over the rough road, and there were moments when Abigail felt the conveyance tilt upon its wheels, sending her toward the side with her mother's scant weight pressing upon her in grim reminder of how little the frail, ill woman could withstand the rigors of such a journey.

During this unit, Pontius Pilate questions Jesus as the final decision-maker in this trial. In verse 11 he asks “Are you the king of the Jews?” in which Jesus replied “You have said so.” Pilate continues the interrogation after the elders and the high priest have concluded their testimonies against Jesus. An element of irony is introduced as Pilate is amazed that Jesus made no rebuttal against such claims.

In context, Rufus had just sexually approached a frightened Dana, prompting her to rush to the attic and get a knife. Rufus followed her to apologize, then proceeded to wrap his arm around her, when Dana suddenly contemplated loving him. “[She] could feel the knife in [her] hand, still slippery with perspiration.”— a major denotation of nervousness, as sweat glands moisten hands under such circumstances. Then her mind raced toward the other end of not stabbing him, as “A slave was a slave. Anything could be done to her. And Rufus was Rufus— erratic, alternately
