Henrik Ibsen's “Doll's House” / Love
& Marriage ? : 5 pages
in length. Love is not necessarily a prerequisite for marriage.
This statement is clearly proven in Henrik Ibsen's A Doll's
House, where Nora and Torvald Helmer easily execute what
could be one of millions of masquerade marriages of their
day. Brought together in matrimony but respecting none of
the inherent principles, the two people merely wade through
their relationship as though one were the master, the other a
slave. The writer discusses these points as they pertain to the
play. No additional sources cited. Dolllove.wps

Moliere’s “Tartuffe” & Henrik
Ibsen’s “A Doll’s House” :
A 4 page paper discussing the role of women in Moliere’s
“Tartuffe” and Ibsen’s “A Doll’s House.” In examining
the
personalities of the female characters we examine Nora, from
“A Doll’s House,” and Pernelle, from “Tartuffe.” Where
Nora is a weak individual who feels a need to blame others
for her misfortune, Pernelle is a woman who is not necessarily
liked, but is a woman who plays no games and understands
herself and what she wants, or needs, out of life. No
additional sources cited. Tardll.wps

Kate Chopin's The Story of an Hour : Freedom
means many
things to many people. In The Story of an Hour, by Kate
Chopin, freedom is the sum and total of the thematic
enterprise. The protagonist's deepest wish is for freedom and
Chopin is able to embed both the desire and the attainment of
freedom within her writing style through the use of recurring
metaphors and symbols, as well as the story line. This 5 page
paper argues that freedom from the social constraints of the
conventions of gender role during the Victorian era are the
first of the freedoms that Chopin addresses. The second is
the freedom from the temporal world: death. No additional
sources are listed. KTchopin.wps
