A Comparison between“A Doll’s House” and “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf” The drama plays “A Doll’s House” and “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf” are depictions of the married couple as the central characters.Both plays involve conflict in marriage as a central plot event, but portray the events and characters differently, to contrasting effect. One point of contrast is the character relationship within the couple.As the play is introduced, the reader receives a first impression of the couple’s marriage situation.Superficially, the interaction between husband and wife in “A Doll’s House” is puerile in a way with affectionate nicknaming involved. However, Nora’s subversion of hiding the macaroons and the contract that let her borrow from Krogstad indicate the lack of transparency in the marriage and suggests the instability of such a relationship.On the other hand, the marriage between George and Martha in “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf” is also convoluted except with storytelling and deliberate humiliation openly directed towards each other. Conflict is a prevalent idea in both novels, but is depicted differently in each.In “A Doll’s House”, the character conflict is primarily that of principle. Helmer believes that “an atmosphere of lies infects and poisons the whole life of a home”.
Everything thus far has been like children playing with their toys, not like 2 married adults. She finally decides to leave, he tries to stop her, and they argue back and forth for several minutes, then she grabs her belonging, and heads for the door. She leaves, and the husband is lost, confused, and devastated all at the same time. Ibsen’s work fits into the Impressionism movement, as well as in the sub-category of the Naturalist movement because of the since of certain people fitting into certain places in society. For example Nora being treated like a doll/toy instead of a human being/wife, both by her husband and father.
According to Erik Erikson's theory Trust vs Mistrust a person thinks that you can trust someone but they really cant. For example Carmen comes home feeling hurt, betrayal, anger and shame by her father as he now has a new family and she turns immediately to Tibby for comfort and advice. Tibby's friendship with Bailey, a young girl with leukemia, reinforces the feelings she has for the Sisterhood, because her death shows Tibby how important the small pleasures she gave to others while alive can be emulated when she is within the Sisterhood. Bridget learned when Lena organized the girls to come to her aid even when she was in Greece that no matter how big the problem may seem, there is always someone you love to catch you when you fall.

Utilitarianism contains the idea that the suffering of one is acceptable for a greater happiness. Louisa marries Bounderby in the hopes that it will please her father, and that she has grown up not knowing how to interpret her feelings, leaving her unknowing on how to feel about the marriage. Dickens then goes into describing the other things that have been done in order to have the wedding, “Dresses were made, jewelllery was made… and an extensive assortment of Facts did appropriate honour to the contract.” When speaking about a wedding the word ‘contract’ does not usually come up. This word choice was made by Dickens on purpose to further support his hatred of the harsh environment that revolves around the utilitarianism ideals. When speaking of Facts and contracts Dickens creates the idea that this marriage is more of a business deal than a wedding, nothing but the hard facts.
The True State of Happiness Janie is a dreamer, her grandmother Nancy says, she lives her life trying to reach the horizon-- Janie’s very dear dreams. The society’s principles of how a woman should act, and its strict limits, prevent Janie from reaching the horizon; that one day seemed to be so close. The first two unfortunate marriages separate Janie from her dreams by limiting her strictly and blending her into the melting pot of society. Everyone in the pot is forced to follow the mass of others, thus living their lives without finding their individuality and discovering their life purpose and path. Janie’s first two husbands, Logan and Jody, never allow Janie to reach the desirable horizon.
One similarity that the mothers and daughters in the book shared with Tan and her family is that all of the parents had high expectations and goals for their children. Also, when all of the daughters were growing up, there was some sort of family secret kept away from them. Another parallel between the author and the characters in the book is that both of them had lost something that was meaningful to them. The parents, mainly the mothers, pushed their daughters to the highest possible point of their ability to achieve successful lives. The daughters in the stories thought their mothers were very pushy about some things and they did not like it.
