Assess Based On Books A Doll's House

Imagine what it would be like to live in a dolls house: it's a house in which you are controlled and have no power to make any strong decisions; it's a house in which you are a play thing for someone elses entertainment. This sounds a lot like a bad marriage, so it's a house in which your husband holds the purse strings, so to speak, and leaves you with no control over your familys finances. Indeed, your husband keeps you on a very tight leash. Such is the perceived life of Nora Helma. Yet,

Dukkehjem = A Doll House = A doll's House, Henrik IbsenA Doll's House, is a three-act play written by Henrik Ibsen. It premiered at the Royal Theatre in Copenhagen, Denmark, on 21 December 1879, having been published earlier that month. The play is set in a Norwegian town circa 1879. Act One: The play opens at Christmas time as Nora Helmer enters her home carrying many packages. Nora's husband Torvald is working in his study when she arrives. He playfully rebukes her for spending so much money

I did not like this book because the main character got on my last nerves. A supposedly intelligent woman pretending to be an idiot to fit her husband's idea of what women are like? And in the end abandons her family. I have no sympathy for characters who punish the innocent children of their idiotic patnerships in order to "find themselves". Then again, I read this in high school so perhaps if I reread it I'll see what all the hoopla surrounding it is about.No wonder people hate feminists! If

This is the story of a marriage that superficially seems happy, but a critical turn of events reveals a sham relationship.Torvald and Nora Helmer, who've had some financial struggles, are delighted because Torvald has gotten major promotion at the bank where he works. But Nora, behind her lightheartedness and childish behavior - encouraged, always, by Torvald, who calls her diminutive, vaguely (or sometimes explicitly) insulting names names like "my sweet tooth" and "little spendthrift" - is

I will reread this. I want to see if:-I will still think it worth five stars. -I enjoy Audible dramatizations.It is an Audible Daily Deal today (2016-03-30), so it only costs 99 cents. **********I did like this a lot, the second time around. I have given it four stars. There were lines that I objected to, that I thought could have been improved. I loved the denouement. I loved when at the end Nora lets Torvald have it. She talks and talks and tries to explain, for the first time after eight

I read Henrik Ibsen's A Doll's House back in high school as required reading but did not grasp the scope of his masterpiece then. Ibsen penned his classic play about the story of Nora and Thorvald Helmer at a time in his life when he was coping with his former love Laura being confined to an insane asylum. In 1872 Laura married a man other than Ibsen and he fell ill with a lethal disease. Their doctors prescribed a southern climate but Laura did not have funds to move her husband to such a

3.5★HELMER: You cant deny it, little Nora, now can you? [Putting an arm around her waist] Its a sweet little bird, but it gets through a terrible amount of money. You wouldnt believe how much it costs a man when hes got a little song bird like you!NORA: Oh, how can you say that? I really do save all I can.HELMER [laughing]:Yes, thats very true all you can. But the thing is, you CAN'T!NORA [nodding and smiling happily] Ah, if you only knew what expenses we skylarks and squirrels have, Torvald.
