Project description
Which elements and aspects of A Dollhouse are most and least realistic?
Consider Ibsen\u2019s symbolism, with reference to Dr. Rank, macaroons, the Christmas tree, the presents, the locked mailbox, the dance, Nora\u2019s black shawl, her change of clothing in Act 3, and the door slam at the play\u2019s close.
Is Nora a victim of circumstances or a villain who brings about problems? What is Ibsen\u2019s view?
describe the \u201crole-playing\u2019 in the Helmer marriage. Does any evidence suggest that Nora know she is playing a role\u201d
When Nora asks Torvald to restore Krogstad\u2019s job, Torvald refuses on the ground that he should not give in to his wife\u2019s pressure (Act 2, speech 113). Later, he claims that their marriage is destroyed, but that they should keep up the appearance of marital stability (Act 3, speech 242). In the light of such statements, describe Torvald\u2019s character. What concerns him most about life and marriage\u201d
A major theme in the play is that weakness and corruption are passed from generation to generation. Examine this theme in connection with krogstad and his sons, Nora and her children, Nora and her father and dr. Rank.
