In the late 1800’s, Europe was experiencing rapid industrialization and women were beginning to work outside the home. This sociological development led to a public debate on the role and rights of women in society (Pinchbeck 11). At this time a woman was generally legally under the control of her husband or father due to societal norms which were based on antiquated ideas that women were physically and mentally inferior to men and needed to be “looked after” (Pinchbeck 12). However, this hierarchical view of gender roles in families and society were beginning to change around the time ...

The 60s are renowned as a decade that saw the first emergence and popular awareness of fashion and fashion trends. One of the main reasons this era was so unique was that it catalyzed a complete transformation of women’s fashion.

Unlike the other horror films of the year, however, The Conjuring was a more conventional approach to the genre, with the heart of the narrative being paranormal investigators investigating a family haunted by a doll possessed by a demonic entity. Annabelle serves as both a prequel and spin-off of The ...

On the top shelf was a car, which was gleaming as if inviting me to play with it. My father, who saw my awestruck face, ...

The doll house is a play that was written by Henri Ibsen and played for the first time in December 1879 at the Royal theatre in Denmark. The play manifests the intuitions of Henri Ibsen about the dominance of the male society over the female gender.

Arguably, the play will consider the outreach of the audience through costume design element as an approach to entice the audience ...

The book presents some ideas that I never knew and if I knew I knew the least. I was so much familiar with one of the weaknesses of writing that scholars do get into.

It is commonly obvious that if one has difficulty in briefing conversations, he or she not only confuse himself or herself but also his or her audience. This too applies to writing too long sentences tend to confuse more than informing. The first chapter ...

1. Gender Identity
As far as one remembers, one got to learn about gender identity from parents and grandparents, specifically through distinguishing toys and clothes between siblings. For instance, one was made aware that girls are provided with toys that focus on aesthetic value through playing with dolls, miniature houses with different parts and accessories of the living room, kitchen, and bedroom. From this alone, it could be understood that girls are expected to conform to activities in the house and also to focus on oneself through emulating the physical traits and characteristics embodied in dolls and how they ...

Think about and describe what makes a good toy. What good toys do you want to make sure you have in your classroom?
Answer: Ideally, a good toy is one that provides the child with not only entertainment, but an educational basis as well, such as matching pictures with sounds that animals make, or during the process of learning to read matching the picture with the written word, etc. All of these sound simple enough, yet they equip the child with entertainment as well as learning. I think so many toys today have lost this educational value and it’ ...

Henrik Ibsen’s A Doll’s House explores the dilemma of being a woman in late 19th century Norway. At the start of the play it is arguable that the Helmers appear to have a perfect marriage. However, this is only because Nora appears to conform to male patriarchal stereotypes about the role of women. As the play proceeds secrets from the past are revealed as are the other characters’ perceptions of Nora and this culminates in the final scene of the play in which Nora experiences an epiphany which reveals to herself ...

Henrik Ibsen’s A Doll’s House is a highly intelligent play that, in its time of the nineteenth century, stood out against all other dramatic works. The protagonist of A Doll’s House is Nora Helmer.

At the beginning of the play, Nora behaves in rather a childlike manner. She prances around like a young girl might do, secretly eats deserts which she has bought while out shopping, and when asked by her husband if she has eaten macaroons, she completely denies it. ...

“In this, as in other parlour plays, female characters act to reveal the unsatisfying nature of a woman's position in marriage and take up a hysteric but also simultaneously rational type of acting to get others to behave as they want. In fact, as I will suggest, the popular practice of home theatre —through its original use and awareness of realistic domestic setting, and in its characteristically strong female roles—influenced the reception ...

For centuries, various societies have always defined the role of women and men. These roles continue to change and evolve as time pass. However, it is only in recent times that women began to break away from the roles that defined them. Nowadays, there is more of a demand throughout many societies for women to be seen and treated as equal to a man. In Susan Glaspell's "Trifles" and Henrik Ibsen's "A Doll's House", both writers' uses female protagonists in situations that many would think of as being male dominate.

Henrik Ibsen’s A Doll’s House tells the story of a young couple – Nora and Torvald – focusing on Nora’s increasing dissatisfaction with her husband and her life. This results in a searing, gritty contemporary drama that seeks to shake up the prevailing wisdom of the time with regards to societal expectations of women. Conversely, Juan Luis Borges’ short story “The Gospel According to Mark,” in which a young medical student starts reading the Bible to an illiterate family at a farm, deals primarily with issues of authority, culture and religion. Despite these seeming differences, both stories have ...
