To be able to do this, the real mother puts a charm on the prince to make him fall in love with Ashputtle instead of anyone else. The prince did not dance with anyone else all night and would always say “she is my partner” (Grimm 630).

It may seem like something cute with the nicknames but it’s more that he wants to put himself in head of her . Nora don’t really have any responsibilty in the house. She don’t need to work, or take care of the children since they have a maid for that, so what is she actually doing? ”You’re never at a loss for scaving up money; but the moment you have it, it runs right out through your fingers, you never know what you done with it” (A dolls House----) Torvald complains to her wife that she just spend all the money she gets from him.

Elaina Wusstig AP English 12 Sejkora 26 September 2011 A Doll’s House Literary Analysis Feminism assists women in breaking from the viewpoint of a normal housewife into a strong, independent person. In A Doll’s House by Henrik Ibsen, Ibsen mocks feminism to a degree where women in the play were looked down upon as insubordinate and almost child-like. Nora, as the main character, displays the role of how a housewife should act with help from her husband who shows his authority as the man of the house. Through conflict and characters, the play degrades women into a role society expects them to have in a household environment rather than the freedom to make their own choices. Torvald treats Nora as a wife in the 1800s should be treated.
Her word choices “remembered” and “were in love,” Waniek emphasizes a sentimental memory. Waniek’s diction allows the reader to relive the memory through the speaker’s perspective. The speaker describes how she remembered "play[ing] in its folds and be chieftains and princesses" (11-12). She uses these lines to demonstrate how the quilt represented her youthful and energetic days with her sister. Through the descriptive use of colors, Waniek creates a vivid picture of the quilt: “Six Van Dyke brown, squares, two white, and one square yellow of Meema’s cheek” (lines 15-17).
In 1946, Priestley put pen to page and began to write a very important and meaningful play, ‘An Inspector Calls’. He set it in 1912 to give himself a very clever advantage over his very naïve characters, and a strong persuasive hold on his future audience too. His characters were completely oblivious to the two devastating world wars ahead, where as the audience were not, which cleverly creates strong dramatic irony that brings the play to life. He embedded himself into the play by becoming the character of spooky inspector Goole, giving him the ability to warn the audience through the play, at the same time as cautioning the characters. Priestley was desperate for the audience take the precious opportunity they had and stop the wars, and look back at the catastrophe they had caused not to long ago.
Exploring the symbolizism of the Christmas tree in Ibsen’s “A Doll’s House” “A Doll’s House”, written in 1879, is one of the most famous works by playwright Henrik Ibsen, the founder of modern realistic prose drama. It tells the story of a nineteenth century bourgeoisie woman who breaks the chains of society that determine her role in life in order to find herself. The story revolves around Nora who rebels against the simple role of housewife that society has assigned her. The Christmas tree is traditionally brought into the home and decorated with Christmas lights (originally candles), ornamnets, garlands and candy canes during the days around Christmas, an angel or star is placed at the top of the tree, representing the host of angels from the nativity. The Christmas tree in “a Doll’s House” symbolizes the mood of the play.
These admirable traits allow the reader to sympathize with her loss of status and interpret Snow-White as the innocent in the classic dichotomy of good versus evil. To be a “good woman” is the most desirable goal in life, yet this idealized model’s attributes are unrealistic to the point of being impossible and the actual traits themselves vary from author to author. In “Little Snow-White” the highlighted traits to being a good woman are piety, charm, passivity and beauty. Beauty within a story needs to use imagery to create the right affect; the reader needs to be able to picture a splendid character to help shape the master plot. When born, Snow-White is described as being “a little daughter who was as white as snow, as red as blood, and as black as ebony wood”.
Christmas Day is something of a disappointment. This is paralleled by events in the play. At the beginning of the play on Christmas Eve, Nora still believes her marriage to be happy. We see her ordering her Christmas Tree to be brought in and then insisting to Helene: “Hide the Christmas tree away carefully. The children mustn’t see it till this evening when it’s decorated (775).
How does Ibsen present Nora’s relationship with Torvald in Act One and Act Two of A Doll’s House? Is it fair to say she is playing, and he expects her to be “a doll”? A doll’s House is a Norwegian play that has been published in the late 19th century. This play revolves around the women rights; I think that Ibsen explains his point of view about women rights in this play. The theme of the play is the role of the women in the Victorian age and how women were treated at that time.
