PL HELP Passage 1

adapted from Marguerite de Valois
by Alexandre Dumas
(a fictional account)

On Monday, the 18th of August, 1572, there was a splendid festival at the Louvre Palace. The ordinarily gloomy windows of the ancient royal residence were brilliantly lit. The squares and streets next to it, usually so solitary after Saint Germain had struck the hour of nine, were crowded with people, although it was past midnight.
The vast throng resembled, in the darkness, a black and tumbling sea, each billow of which makes a roaring breaker. This sea flowed through the Rue des Fossés and the Rue de l'Astruce. It surged against the base of the walls of the Louvre Palace and against the Hôtel de Bourbon, which faced it on the other side.
The court was celebrating the marriage of Madame Marguerite de Valois. She was the daughter of Henry II and sister of King Charles IX, with Henry de Bourbon, King of Navarre. That very morning, on a stage erected at the entrance to Notre Dame, the Cardinal de Bourbon had united the young couple with the usual ceremonial observed at the marriages of the royal daughters of France.

Passage 2
adapted from Memoirs of Marguerite de Valois, Queen of Navarre
by Herself
(a historical account)

A few months after the Queen's death, the Prince of Navarre, or rather, as he was then styled, the King, came to Paris in deep mourning, attended by eight hundred gentlemen, all in mourning habits. He was received with every honor by King Charles and the whole Court, and, in a few days after his arrival, our marriage was solemnized with all possible magnificence. The King of Navarre and his attendants put off their mourning and dressed themselves in the most costly manner. The whole Court, too, was richly attired; all which you can better conceive than I am able to express.
For my own part, I was set out in a most royal manner. I wore a crown on my head with the "coat," or regal gown of ermine, and I blazed in diamonds. My blue-colored robe had a train to it of four ells (15 feet) in length, which was supported by three princesses. A platform had been raised, some height from the ground, which led from the Bishop's palace to the Church of Notre Dame. It was hung with cloth of gold, and below it stood the people in throngs to view the procession, stifling with heat. We were received at the church door by the Cardinal de Bourbon, who officiated for that day, and pronounced the wedding benediction.

the answer would be: it explains that at least one son must join the church

the expression ''as the tithe of his sons'' indicates how his father intended for at least one of his sons to serve the church. this phrase demonstrates that his father offered him as a last resort since none of his brothers chose to serve the church.

Answer from: Quest

with mrs. linde, nora reveals her insensitivity and lack of shame about the forgery she committed. she implies that mrs. linde has obviously aged since they last met 10 years earlier, which accounts for nora’s inability to recognize her old friend. although nora seems sympathetic to mrs. linde’s plight, she can’t seem to control herself from boasting about her three children, her husband’s recent promotion, and how good she feels to finally have some money to spend. in a way, she seems to be flaunting her good fortune in front of mrs. linde who, deprived of all these benefits, has come to ask nora for . it is also through her interactions with mrs. linde that we realize something deeper lies under nora’s seemingly childish exterior. she reveals the secret of her forgery to mrs. linde and seems to see herself as quite resourceful for having done it.

in the company of dr. rank, nora is freer than she is with her own husband. she openly laughs with joy at knowing that all the other bank employees will be under her husband’s control. she offers dr. rank a macaroon, apparently forgetting that he knows she is forbidden to eat them. she then quickly covers for herself by claiming that mrs. linde brought them. nora seems much more assertive and free with these other characters, as well as unabashedly willing to scheme, lie, and justify her transgressions as altruistic.

krogstad provides an interesting parallel to nora. like nora, he too is guilty of committing forgery, for which torvald condemns him and decides to fire him. although krogstad is a man and nora a woman, their crimes of forgery unite them. in fact, krogstad might represent what nora would be like if she were a man and were not strictly scrupulous like her husband is. for example, she tells mrs. linde that "a barrister's profession is such an uncertain thing, especially if he won't undertake unsavoury cases; and naturally torvald has never been willing to do that." perhaps nora would have delved into the unsavory, given how opposite she is to her husband. krogstad's is also the only harsh voice of reality that nora is forced to hear, and that is because he blackmails her for her regaining his job at the bank. finally, torvald’s reaction to krogstad’s forgery seems to foreshadow his harsh and cold reaction to nora’s forgery.
