Why is Kristine willing to "risk everything" for Krogstad?

# Brief Explanations:<br />Kristine is willing to "risk everything" because she realizes her past mistake of marrying for financial security rather than love. She recognizes true affection for Krogstad and wishes to correct her earlier decision by following her heart this time, hence her readiness to take risks for the relationship. Her independence also means she is not seeking to be reliant on Krogstad but genuinely wants to be with him out of love.<br /><br /># Answer:<br />She knows she messed up her first marriage (someone she didn't love) so now she wants to do it right and marry the man he loves. Krogstad is who she loves, yet she is not completely reliant on him.
