A Dolls House

As all little girls did when they were young, I would spend my days playing dolls and house, making up stories and dreaming up of the perfect life. How fun it used to be to get dressed up and play make believe, but eventually the fun and games came to an end. In A Doll’s House, however, we read of a woman subjected to a man’s game. Nora and Torvald seem to be a happily married couple living in what they believe to be a perfect story, but from the very beginning of the play, the reader gets a good view of the way the marriage really is. Torvald treats Nora with the same respect as he treats their children, inferior and unimportant. A Doll’s House emphasized the worth of the individual is of supreme importance not just a character in a play.

Nora and Torvald have somewhat of a pet-master relationship; Nora responds to Torvald just like a pet responds to his master’s orders. Torvald is so strict with Nora that she has to lie and bend around the truth so Torvald doesn’t get mad.

Follow your heart is advice given by many philosophers, musicians, poets, teachers and parents. It is advice not to be taken lightly either.

Life is a game without directions and a variety of ways to win, it is only us who can pick the right way to win this game, we pick anyone else’s only ours. If a $20 bill is crumpled, and dirty its value does not change, just as if a human is a man or woman, black or white, Muslim or Jewish, their worth does not change.

lies telling him that Christine brought them for her. “See here, macaroons! I thought they were contraband here,” said Dr. Rank. “Yes but these are some that Kristine gave me” replied Nora. (Ibsen, 979)

In the Doll House there is quite a bit of foreshadowing; one example of it is when Nora is speaking with Mrs. Linde in Act One, she claims that she will be "free" after the New Year
