Statement of Intent: I believe that different social classes have different powers in modern society and I want to the different ways on how it influences and affects people. I want to see what defines having power in society. Natural born leaders and people born into power. I want to show the corruption and greed of power. I will reference this idea to the play “A Doll’s House” and show how it’s still relevant in today’s society.
The three main headliners in modern social media is power, money and sex. Humans are naturally attracted and fascinated by these motivators, where they’re fixated on the stories and lives of celebrities and influential politicians. I believe that for a person to be high on the social ladder, you either had to have …show more content…
The main character, Nora knew that even though she came from a rich background, being a woman during this time gave her lower standings in society than men. She knows that her husband (Torvald) has complete power and control over her, so she deceptively uses her feminine side to get what she wants. She purposely acts like a “doll” or a plaything for husband to get money and favours from him. But the irony in doing this, she just becomes her husband’s ideal trophy wife and which in return just further inflates his ego. Even knowing all this, she still loves him and also thinks that he truly loves her for who she is despite all her manipulative acting. So in order to have power during this time, Nora had to pretend and fit in into the role and expectations of society/her husband. She uses her influence from the men around her to gain power to have some influence, she manipulated Krogstad into lending her money by using her father’s name. This shows that in time of need, the lack of power will force people into committing …show more content…
With this, it’s harder to the poor and people living in poverty to get help as the average working people are busy with their own lives.

In the past, greedy kings have known to cause the villager to rebel and rescale the system. So in desperate times, people of mass will join forces to have enough power and influence to rebalance the social ladder.
So in conclusion, I do believe that having different social standings or social background in society does affect the amount of power or influence you have on others. Because being rich and powerful can improve how much you influences those around you. But “with great power, comes great responsibility” as power has been known to corrupt people’s perspectives and morals and change how the way they act. So a person who has self-control of their power and social standings and knows the limitations of this can make themselves into a great leader who has good influence and is beneficial to everyone
