“I have often wished that you might be threatened by some great danger, so that I might risk my life's blood, and everything, for your sake."

Explanation: In the given excerpt from act 3 of "A Doll's House" we can see a husband talking to his wife about how he doesn't feel he is given his best for her ("My darling wife, I don't feel as if I could hold you tight enough"). The evidence from the passage that best supports the theme that society placed expectations on men and women based on gender is the phrase “I have often wished that you might be threatened by some great danger, so that I might risk my life's blood, and everything, for your sake" because he feels he is supposed to protect his wife (because he is a man), and the woman is portrayed as a damsel in distress.
