A Doll’s House In Henrick Ibsen’s A Doll’s House, the main relationship we see is Nora Helmer and her husband Torvald Helmer’s. Their relationship is seemingly influenced by their era. When first reading the play, one may suggest that the women in this play are victims of this era. As the plot develops, we see that the relationship is also influenced by Nora’s lies, which suggest she was also a victimizer in her relationship, aside from her era. 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.
Let me also take this opportunity to personally say a big thanks to Mark. It was a stipulation for the wedding that the Mark wasn’t allowed to look better than the Best Man and I’m pleased to say Mark has more than kept up his end of the bargain. I would also like to thank both sets of parents who have shown great support to the happy couple in the build up to this special day. You have played a pivotal role on this momentous occasion. To show your love, to respect, and to cherish the moment.
You shall not suffer for my sake. You shall not take it upon yourself. In the book ‘A Dolls House’ by Henrik Ibsen on page seventy-six a dialog can be found between a husband and his wife over the contents of a letter. In the first line you can hear Helmers concern and anger over the contents of the message that surely has a very precarious subject to it. Then you can hear Nora in the second line becoming submissive and admitting to the letters issue and also a struggle, “Let me go!
“Do you both pledge to share your lives openly with one another, and to speak the truth in love?” 2. “Do you promise to honour and tenderly care for one another, cherish and encourage each other, stand together, through sorrows and joys, hardships and triumphs for all the days of your lives?” 3. “Do you take (bride's/groom’s name) to be your lawful wedded wife/husband to have and behold from this day on, for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health, as long as you both shall live?” This is an opportunity for the soon-to-be married to demonstrate their commitment to each other, in words and in front of witnesses. The more or less obligatory answer for these questions is ‘yes’ or ‘I do’. What vows are made?
First examining marriage in Pride and Prejudice, the prime example of it in this novel is that surrounding the Bennett family who are not wealthy people, and there is nothing that Mrs Bennett wants more than to see her daughters get married to wealthy men. She presents this desperation at the very beginning of the book when she is eagerly mentioning the fact that Netherfield Park has been let, and she is said to be speaking “impatiently” when her husband does not return this eagerness. This is shown when she says “you do not know what I suffer”. This suffering may be as a result of her own marriage (which disappoints her) or the fact that she wants each of her five daughters to find wealthy husbands. She states in the first chapter that the “solace” of marriage is “visiting and news.” This explains why Mrs Bennett is so desperate for her husband to visit Bingley and find out more about him and to introduce him to their daughters.
The Shakespearean lover can be seen in many of Shakespeare’s plays in many different forms. However while the forms may be different the role of the lover is still easily recognisable. In the excerpt from Shakespeare’s Richard III Richard of Gloucester can be seen playing the role of the lover in his speech to Queen Elizabeth, as he attempts to persuade her to be his ally in securing her daughter, Elizabeth, as his future wife. In the excerpt from the play A Midsummer Night’s Dream the role of the lover is played very differently by Hermia and Lysander, who plan to elope, the only way to get around the obstacles that their love is facing. These two excerpts from the plays, while both recognisably depicting the Shakespearean lover, are doing so in very different forms, with language and theatrical issues creating different forms of ‘the lover.’ Several distinctions between Richard’s exchange with Queen Elizabeth and Hermia and Lysander’s conversation easily highlight the differences between the Shakespearian lovers.

By using aggressive verbs and strong beat, it shows the conflict between the two families, which is very important for people to know so that they can have better ideas of why Romeo and Juliet’s love is a forbidden love. Quotes, such as “What, art thou drawn among these heartless hinds?”, “keep the peace”, are well-used in order to describe Tybalt as a hothead and Benvolio as a calm and mature person. Third song, “Tragic story”, is written in a special form. It’s like a conversation between the singers. Thanks to that unique style, whole picture of the fight between Tybalt and Mercutio, Tybalt and Romeo are shown.
