  • A Doll's House Analytical Essay

    1136 Words  | 5 Pages

    Doll’s House by Henrik Ibsen was highly criticized for undeniably demonstrating woman’s issues in the 19th century. While the play doesn’t change setting much at all, Ibsen clearly focuses in on the characterization of three insightful characters: Mrs. Linde, Nora, and Helmer. Mrs. Linde is a minor character; however, that doesn’t alter her effect on the play. She provides the mold for the perfect, idealized wife. Nora, the main character, develops rapidly in the play, and her character is a stark contrast to Mrs. Linde.

Among the memorable experiences of these short trips are: squealing and smiling as I fed ducks near my grandparents house, staring up at the ceiling of the local swimming pool as I floated on my back through the “lazy river”, turning my head away from the television screen in terror while watching movies that I was without a doubt too young to be watching (Needful Things based off the Stephen King novel being a great example of this), and learning about insects and other creepy, crawly creatures at the local bug zoo. Throughout the yearly visits to this strange version of a zoo, my favorite

  • A Doll's House Character Analysis

    1384 Words  | 6 Pages

    Henrik Ibsen’s A Doll’s House is a play set in 19th century Norway, when women’s rights were restricted and social appearance was more important than equality and true identity. In A Doll’s House, Nora represents 19th century women entrapped by society to fulfill wifely and motherly obligations, unable to articulate or express their own feelings and desires. Ibsen uses Nora’s characterization, developed through her interactions with others as well as her personal deliberations and independent actions, language and structure in order to portray Nora’s movement from dependence to independence, gaining sovereignty from the control of her selfish husband, deceitful marriage and the strict social guidelines of morality in 19th century Norway. Initially, Nora appears to be a dependent, naïve, and childlike character; yet, as the play unfolds, she appears to be a strong, independent woman who is willing to make sacrifices for those she cares about as well as herself.

    Consequently, Henrik Ibsen’s play, A Doll’s House, added fuel to the fire that is the feminist movement. Ibsen’s character, Nora, illustrated the changes being made in society when at the end of the play she leaves her husband and responsibilities to become an independent person. Nineteenth-century Europe was changing slowly, but drastically, for women in terms of being able to vote, earn a degree, becoming physicians and lawyers, getting divorces, primary custody of their children, etc. Working class women found jobs in the domestic, industrial, and prostitution workforce, all of which treated them appallingly. Middle-class women had the money and time to be the angelic figure created by nineteenth-century European society by giving back to

  • A Doll's House Women

    991 Words  | 4 Pages

    In ‘A Doll’s House” Ibsen seems to oppose to the statement that women are often strong in the home but weak beyond it and instead presents women in an opposing way. This is shown through the stereotypes of women being broken in multiple cases as Nora manages to handle this big secret from everyone, including her husband which leads to her being strong and independent. However, the statement may have some truth to it as Nora doesn’t exactly depend only on herself and does seem to be a bit unstable without Torvald. Ibsen himself believed in gender equality; him and his wife were equal in their home, which is shown in the way women are presented in ‘A Doll’s House’. On one hand, women are presented to be weak in the home.
