Answer:
1. “no idea what a dangerous condition he was in”
Explanation:
This is because, the doctor had already told Nora that the husband's life is in great danger except they moves to the southern part. The husband being an opinionated person would not agreee to such request if they wife tell him the exact truth why they should move.
That is why she had to find a way out by convincing him to move while her husband's diginity still remain intact.
I won't write a whole paragraph but i'll list the symbolism. The gold represents the purity and value they had at the time, the hair of the wife represents the youth the woman once had, and the chain represented the emotional attachment she had for her husband.
