A Doll's House
In the play "A Doll House" the main character, Nora, is in a situation where she is caused to act, emotionally and physically, as a doll to please her husband. Nora has to be very sneaky and conniving in order to be perfect and talked down to by her husband. The themes from this story are the same as the themes from previous stories such as "A Rose For Emily", "Chrysanthemums", and "The Yellow Wallpaper", where we can see the dominating role of men in society versus the weak role of women. The theme from “ A Doll House” is a little different when compared to other short stories and poems because here Nora leaves her husband at the end rather than keep getting depressed and emotionally unstable.

When I was reading the story Nora seemed happy and she was, but later realizes that she cannot be happy there any more. Why didn't she realizes this from the beginning, maybe she overlook the way she was portrayed because of the loan she took out. So, she had no worries about that type of stuff. I guess she did not mind being rich and talked down too. The ways of Nora throughout the story was interesting for me to read.
