Quote 3- Oh, what a glorious feeling it is, knowing you’ve got a nice, safe job, and a good fat income. Meaning. Having just scolded Nora for spending too much, Torvald now decides to give her extra money anyway and then reflects on how pleased he is to have been given a promotion and raise. This indicates that Torvald takes pleasure in the power that comes with having a high-paying job, perhaps more than he cares about having money to spend. His statement highlights the importance of income and status within the world of the play. This passage also once again reveals Torvald's naïveté, as later in the play his "safe" job will be threatened. It also will later expose his cruelty; despite the importance he himself places on having a secure position, he is merciless when it comes to firing Krogstad.
