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. Nora is perhaps one of the deepest, most internally complicated characters in nineteenth century plays.

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. This incident with ...

Moreover, it is a common thing to discriminate women at the company, preferring to give ...

Introduction

Many people have no idea of what they expect to achieve after retirement when asked about their retirement plans. The government’s policies about retirement do not cater for the well-being of retirees creating a lot of worry for the life after employment.

The United States of America developed labor laws during the time when the country’s economy was independent and self-contained. The main aim of ...

Role of drug abuse in criminal activities

Introduction According to Drapela (2006), drug use and abuse is not only detrimental to an individual’s health but also plays a role in facilitating criminal behavior in the society. The research aims to identify the root cause of the delinquents’ crimes (Maldonado, et al. 2010). This research will seek to provide strategies that will enable the administration of the right strategy that would alleviate criminal behavior completely (Anglin, et al. 2009). This strategy would indeed treat the cause of criminal behavior, rather than treating the symptoms of the problem (Haberstick, et al. 2011). Furthermore, the application of information ...

Henrik Ibsen’s A Doll House has been the subject of discussion for many authors and critics. It has been praised for “embracing women’s equality” (Metzger) and for the theme of freedom that derives from restricting social, situations of life that is depicted (Goonetilleke). However, it has also been attacked for portraying women as unlovable, ill-favored, and loathsome beings without a single instance of depicting them as modest and noble (Styan 55). Most of these authors and critics have emphasized on the actions, persona, and relationship of the protagonist, Mrs. Nora Helmer in the play. Subsequently, to support their ...

Why did Clinton’s Health care reform fail?

Clinton’s health care plan focused on transformation and building of the mixed private and public health care system (Oberlande, 2007). The plan advocated for universal coverage that would have all employers contribute significantly towards insurance premiums costs for their workers. The insurance market was expected to shift to managed care as Americans would choose from the various available insurance plans. Finally, the plan focused on cost control by limiting any unexpected growth in terms of the insurance premiums. During 1990s, including 1993, opinion polls from the public indicated that Americans valued involved of the government in the ...

In “A Doll House” written by Henrik Ibsen is a play about women’s roles in society in the 19th century. The book examines the exploitation of the poor and the weak by the rich.

Deviant Bodies

The issue of deviant bodies has been a contentious issue for quite some time now in the contemporary society and especially in the American society. There have been several studies attempting to describe the ideal body of both males and females. Emphasis though has been on what the ideal woman’s body in the American society should look like in terms of skin color and body size (Terry & Urla, 1995). Deviant bodies can be described as those bodies which deviate from the norms set forth by the society. For instance according to deviant bodies, critical perspectives on difference ...

Introduction

The Oxford dictionary defines a “play” as a “dramatic work for the stage or for broadcast” (2012). We also know that the term is also used to indicate moments of fun and enjoyment. The evolution of drama and theatre can be traced back to the Greek period where it emerged in close relation to religion and rituals of the time. F.L Lucas in his interpretation of Aristotle’s “Poetics” explains how the drama at that time was similar to rituals and sacred mysteries as they provided a different kind of purification to the spectator by means of thought provoking stories and visual ...

Introduction

The ways in which children develop cognitively have fascinated philosophers, researchers and theorists for centuries. However, in the twentieth century, several different schools of thought arose, each of which attempted to categorize the various phases of cognitive development between infancy and adolescence. Piaget, in his early observations, asserted that children, even at a very early age, were capable of creating their own ideas. Instead of merely receiving and assimilating information from adult figures, they could take the stimuli they received and build unique structures of knowledge. His work ended up as the foundation of the modern constructionist theories in education. ...

Introduction

Human beings learn through different techniques and learning through observation is one of the most important ones. The concept of learning through observation is called observational learning. Although, people of all ages use this technique to learn, children use this technique for learning very often. They observe their surroundings like a sponge and imitate the behavior of other people around them. Children's observational learning might be the motivator in their participation in community activities. This statement can be evaluated by referring to theories related to the topic. The most relevant theory is social learning theory by Albert Bandura.

The first photo is to say that American Unions are like North Korea. Videos of the organization’s TV ads are on the ...

A Doll’s House is built on lies, secrets, illusions, and delusions. The characters lie to each other and to themselves. Nora is keeping many secrets and lies from her husband, Torvald.

Torvald has no idea about what is truly happening in his own house or in the lives of those close to him. For example, Torvald’s best friend, Dr. Rank, is keeping secrets from him even though Dr. Rank visits the house every day. Other ...

It has been more that fifty years since Barbie was created and over that time she has become one of the most top selling toys worldwide (Griffin). And nobody could have predicted the success a simple plastic doll has achieved. At this point you can hardly find a person who has never heard of Barbie. The doll is known and sold worldwide and that makes her probably one of the most popular trends of all time. It was the first doll with an adult body. And it is her body image that has been causing a great number of contradictions and debates. ...

Today Barbie is not only a doll, but also numerous collections of accessories, video games, cosmetics and even movies. Until very recently Barbie was dominating the fashion doll market. The few minor competitors could barely compete with Barbie, due to significant barriers to entry, or the obstacles, which prevent firms from ...

Was Nora right to leave at the end of the play?

Firstly, she was right to leave because Torvald treats her in a completely stereotypical way – like a doll, as the title of the page suggests. All the names he calls her as endearments have the effect of stressing her weakness and dependence on him. They make her sound like a child, a doll, Torvald’s personal plaything: “little songbird”, “squirrel”, “lark”, “little featherhead”, “little skylark”, “little person”, little woman.” It could be argued that these are harmless and loving endearments, but they clearly show the balance of power in the Helmers’ marriage. If Nora acts at times in a flirtatious and childish way, 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 her true identity, and the lies and misconceptions ...

Hamlet by William Shakespeare, A Doll’s House by Henrik Ibsen and Death of a Salesman by Arthur Miller are separated by time, language and culture. All three are still widely performed all over the world. What is their appeal? Throughout the ages, theatre has evolved through many genres, styles and forms. However, many people would agree that all drama needs some sort of conflict in order to succeed. In my essay, I will discuss the three plays mentioned above in order to demonstrate that they all contain a mixture of conflict in the main character’s private life together with a ...

In recent decades feminist critics have attempted to appropriate A Doll’s House as a feminist text, but they have been met with a barrage of criticism from some critics who prefer to stress other aspects of the play. In one sense to call it a feminist play is, of course, an anachronism, since the feminist movement did not begin until the late 1960s and early 70s, but, nonetheless, Nora’s abandonment of Torvald and her children at the end of the play can still be seen as a rebellion against the prevailing patriarchal values of European society.

In this research paper on Ibsen’s A Doll’s House I will examine the play’s plot, central characters and themes and then provide an analysis of its production history and reception. It is a play that continues, through new productions, to engage audiences all over the world and the social dynamic between theater productions and social values is one that is full of interest and not without controversy. The very first production aroused controversy: Jaeger (p. 259) claims that “The close of A Doll’s House gave rise to dissentient criticism”. But even one of the first reviews ...

At the beginning of the play it rapidly becomes clear that Nora’s husband Torvald Helmer is very dominant and that he treats Nora like a child. It is interesting that this takes place at Christmas, a time devoted to the pleasing of children and a time of dreams and fantasy, for Nora is essentially trapped within a dream world where everything is safe and things are just how they should be. This is essentially because she relies upon her husband to protect her from the vagaries of the outside world with its harsh realities and risks. To a certain extent it could be ...

The elegy “Barbie Doll,” by Marge Piercy is an allegoric portrait of the negative traditions in which females have been forced into accepted wisdom of their bodies and manners in relation to a patriarchal idyllic. This principle is a slender hitherto curved body structure, with proportioned, ideal facial quality. The protagonist in Marge’s “Barbie Doll” gives up her own self image to accomplish the societal expectations of an ideal woman, a structure of community society dominated by the male species with their expectations on the ultimate ladies. The literature gives the illustration of a girl child’s life who due to ...

A marriage is a life time commitment between two people to share their lives and experiences as companions. In the least sense, this is what most people hope would happen when they commit to spent the rest of their lives together. It is a commitment and efforts between two people to be true to each other and support and love each other without any conditions whether in good times or bad times. Though, there are many characteristics associated to marriage, I feel, three are most important and define what a good marriage is, and are, trust, respect, and communication. These characteristics lay ...
