A Smithsonian researcher led a team that discovered 18 new species of spiders in Madagascar that looked like pelicans. The spider is formally known as Archaeids which has an extended, arching carapace and two extra-long mouthparts, the chelicerate, which creates an illusion of a neck and a beak that gives the arachnid a pelican appearance. National Geographic described the spider as quiet as an owl, quick as a cobra, small as a grain of rice, and is more like a venomous pike when it strikes its prey. The Smithsonian noted that the purpose of the unusual appearance of the Archaeids is to make it prey hunting easier. The pelican spider eats only spiders, not other insects.

By the end of this play, we see how Nora’s secret changes the relationship between the couple, as she violates the stereotypical role-play as a wife and mother in her era, which generates her inspirational growth. Nora, the main character, was first introduced as a very sheltered, immature, and optimistic woman. Helmer we see as proud of his male role in society and in the household, father-like towards his wife, and greatly cares for his appearance in others eyes. When speaking to each other, Helmer communicates to Nora as if she was his child instead of his wife. He does this by things such as calling her nicknames with negative characteristics, such as his little lark, spendthrift and featherhead.
In this essay, I am going to look into how this dramatic structure brings about the theme of feminism in “A Doll’s House”. The dramatic structure of “A Doll’s House” parallels with Nora’s self-discovery, which in turn, helps portray the theme of feminism. Since “A Doll’s House” is set in a patriarchal society where men take the leading role and women are considered relatively inferior, the audience would find it easy to relate to the way Nora behaves and how she interacts with her husband. Nora, the female protagonist of the story has always been seen as a doll her whole life by her father and her husband. “I’ve been your doll-wife here, just as at home I was Papa’s doll-child.” (267) The men in Nora’s life has always treated her like a doll.
Portrayel of women with reference to the title of the story "Excellent things in women" Sara Suleri, writes in her first chapter, “Excellent Things in Women” about the important characteristics of her female relatives. She has a keen eye for the behavior and essence of her grandmother and siblings. It is interesting to note how Suleri develops the character of her grandmother from an adult perspective and what her childhood memories add to the picture of Dadi the reader gets. As the narrative progresses Suleri shares some of her grandmother’s little idiosyncrasies such as the walking sticks she would cut down from the garden even though Suleri’s father would buy her dozens. We become familiar with Dadi’s traditional values through Suleri’s description of her grandmother sitting in the courtyard in the late afternoon winter sun.
