Torvald hates people who lie, and he believes that liars negatively affect their children with their hypocrisy.

Explanation:

Henrik Ibsen's three-act play "A Doll's House" revolves around the Helmers and especially the relationship between the husband Torvald and his wife Nora. The play delves into the societal issue of a patriarchal society where women seemed to be left at home or expected to be a stay-at-home mother to take care of the household chores and look after children.

In the given excerpt from the play, Torvald talks about how Krogstad had lied to him. And according to Torvald, this is the fault of the parents, especially the mother who lies to her children which then in turn have a negative impact on them. It also reveals the hate that Torvald has for people who lie, and believes that "he has to wear a mask in the presence of those near and dear to him, even before his own wife and children". This inference shows how Torvald deems people who lie and also believes that their hypocrisy has a negative effect on their children.
