Conrad's Heart of Darkness?

incidents, and their impact is in reality engaged in
inducing hypnotic stupor in his readers through a
bombardment of emotive words and other forms of
trickery, much more has to be at stake than stylistic
felicity. Generally normal readers are well armed to
detect and resist such underhand activity. But Conrad
chose his subject well – one which was guaranteed not
to put him in conflict with the psychological
predisposition of his readers or raise the need for him
to contend with their resistance. He chose the role of
purveyor of comforting myths.

Conrad.

Explanation:
Nora lies to torvald about macaroons about working to pay of a loan and about borrowing money without his consent why does she lie?
Answer:
Nora explains that she has been using her allowance ever since the trip to Italy to pay her debt. She also reveals that she took on some copying work the previous winter. This work (and not -ornament-making) was the real reason that she closed herself up in a room during the weeks before the previous Christmas. Nora abruptly shifts the subject from the past to the future and happily exclaims that after the new year she will have paid off her debt completely and then will be “free” to fulfill her responsibilities as a wife and mother without impediment. A far more serious case of deception concerns the loan Nora illicitly acquired in order to save Torvald’s life. Though this deception is of far greater magnitude than the lies about the macaroons and involves a breach of law (Nora is guilty of forgery), we can understand and forgive Nora for her actions because she is motivated by noble and selfless intent. In both instances of deception, Nora lies because of Torvald’s unfair stereotypes about gender roles. If Torvald could accept his wife’s help and didn’t feel the need to have control over her every movement, Nora would not have to lie to him. I really hope this helps I read "A Dolls House" at the begging of the year.
