Nora's life has been made economically easy by her husband, but that subordination is what takes the ease out of her life of comfort. Torvald is the dominant partner in their marriage. Without his consent, she cannot make major decisions, like make a loan, without her husband's permission. "Frankenstein" is also about parental and filial obligation and relationship. Dr. Victor Frankenstein is the creator and father of the monster, but this creator and father immediately abandons his creation the moment he beholds this ugliness. As a child pursues its parent, the creature pursues Victor for his care, protection and instruction. When unable to satisfy these basic needs, the creature of ignorance, ignominy and intelligence turns to the dark and hidden part of him in calling the attention of his creator and displacing the energy his creator infused him with. He begins to destroy the people close to Victor's heart and for which Victor all the more repels and hates his creation. Victor can only try to escape the consequences of his mistake by running away from his grave error. The monster...
Ibsen's Nora pictures her as a happy, complete and sweet wife and loving mother in their comfortable home and a society, which accepts and admires them as an ideal family. But behind these nice appearances are the great rift between Nora and her husband, her lack of personal happiness and worth, and an uneasy conscience about an illegally secured loan from the bank. She, however, manages to denounce and walk away from these false appearances when she confronts and bravely responds to her true difficulty. But Dr. Frankenstein's monster does not have the innate skills to evaluate the reactions of his maker and of the other people who can only judge him for his hideous looks and acts of destruction as a creature not worthy of life.

" Ibsen demanded justice and freedom for every human being and wrote a Doll House to inspire society to individualism and free them from suppression." (http://www.helium.com/items/1121047-henrik-ibsen-dolls-house). In the play, the family exists in the way society defines it -- a husband, a wife, children and a home; but in reality it is just a collection of strangers living in the same house. For Nora the crisis of blackmail and her husband
He feels that Nora's freedom is not a reality since she couldn't possibly just leave her house and establish her own identity without money. "Nora needs money -- to put it more elegantly, it is economics which matters in the end. Freedom is certainly not something that can be bought for money. But it can be lost through lack of money." (Found in Schwarez) In short, whatever were the reasons
Doll's House Henrik Ibsen's play A Doll's Housemade him the father of modern literature. His writing showed tragedy and drama in a new and rather modern way. Prior to an analysis of the story at hand, it is only relevant that the plot and main characters are discussed in detail. This story does not revolve around a whole bunch of characters and is based on only a few days. The story
Instead of needing his help and protection, Torvald finds out that it was only Nora's role playing and really she was capable of working and doing deceptive things. Torvald's response to the letter shows that he has very little self-awareness and really thought that the "role-plays" were reality. 5. Torvald believes that marriage and family are important, and that the man or husband is in control. Torvald thinks that men
Ibsen's a Doll's House Henrik Ibsen's play A Doll's House dramatizes its heroine's dilemma by providing an example of what fate might possibly await her: the subplot involving Mrs. Linde is designed by Ibsen as a deliberate contrast and warning to Nora, the "little doll" of the play's title (Ibsen 84).. I hope by an examination of the different uses Ibsen makes of his counterplot to demonstrate that Ibsen intends the
