Dr. Rank

RANK: "I cannot imagine for a moment what would have become of me if I had never come into this house." (2.174)
The seeming perfection of the Helmers' home has been a great comfort to Dr. Rank. Too bad the house was far from perfect.

Quote 2
RANK: "Ah, yes!—these dear familiar rooms. You are very happy and cosy in here, you two." (3.148)
Here again we see Rank's misguided idealization of the Helmers' home. We wonder how he would feel if he knew it was all going to be shattered in about fifteen minutes.

Quote 3
RANK: "You [Nora] can command me, body and soul." (2.202)
Is Rank in love with the real Nora, or the idea of her?
