If I had to pick anyone that I liked out of this play, I'd pick Krogstad. I don't want him as a friend, but you have to admit that this guy is smart. He wants to keep his job since his reputation is still ruined, so he is holding the loan he granted Nora above her head as blackmail to keep his job.
I don't exactly like what he stands for. He stands for blackmail, distrust, and being a disloyal person. I can appreciate the guy wanting to keep his job since he doesn't have any other options. If you think about it and you were in the same situation Krogstad was, I think anyone would have done what he did in blackmailing Nora. If I didn't have many options left to keeping a job, especially in an economy like ours, I'd do whatever it took to make sure that I kept my job.
I also am still trying to understand the relationship between Mrs. Linde and Krogstad. I think that could change one or two opinions about Krogstad, but I don't remember exactly what happens in the play since I read it in 10th grade.
