* NiceJobBreakingItHero: The false banknote could have been used as a political instrument in the hands of Stensgaard, but being the NaiveNewcomer he actually is, he presents it to the elder gentlemen, who tells him it has no value after all.

** Fjeldbo in the first act, when Bratsberg is in the dark on the actual target of Stensgaarsd´s rhetorical attacks (himself, as it is). To calm him Down, and to humor Thora, Fjeldbo whispers "Monsen" in his ear - which sets up a number of misunderstandings in the second act. Fjeldbo is thus responsible for Stensgaard´s hapless apology to Bratsberg, and even for the fact that Stensgaard makes the moves on Thora - which Fjeldbo himself is engaged to. For a short time, Fjeldbo holds the IdiotBall himself.

Added DiffLines:
* DecoyProtagonist: Played with. If you look through the character list at the beginning of the play, Stensgaard is listed pretty far down, ranked below both Bratsberg and Monsen. In that respect, the actual main character is - Bratsberg. Granted, Stensgaard is given a fair amount of stage time (even more than Bratsberg and Monsen).

* FollowTheLeader: Ibsen was more than usually inspired by Creator/LudvigHolberg in this play. The ridiculing of a flawed main character (Stensgaard) is clearly one of Holberg´s most prominent shticks.
