Schrodinger's Cat was a thought experiment devised by Austrian experimental physicist Erwin Schrödinger. The “experiment” included at cat, a vial of poison, a hammer, a geiger counter, and a very small amount of a radioactive material. The material was in such a small amount that there was only a 50/50 chance of the geiger counter picking up the radioactivity. If the geiger counter did pick up the radioactivity, the hammer would break the vial, releasing the poison, and therefore killing the cat. However, as this all happened in a secure chamber with no way to observe what was happening inside, there was no way to see if the cat was dead or alive.…

According to the Merriam Webster Dictionary, the definition for the word death is “a permanent cessation of all vital functions.” This does not have any bad or scary connotation to the word, yet the word brings a sense of grief and gloom to those affected. Death of a loved or a close one is definitely a hard obstacle to overcome as it represents the end of one 's life on this earth. However, I argue that death does not necessarily have to be all demoralizing as it brings more than just sadness and loneliness. As can be seen in the works of The Princess Bride and “Lancelot the Knight of the Cart”, death itself represents the quest through multiple stages of a hero’s journey, bringing a new dimension of life that does not simply mean the end.…

An open door is often seen as a symbol for opportunity. The door is unlocked and half-open when Nora spots Krogstad. This is symbolic of the fact that in the end, it is Krogstad’s threat combined with Helmer’s reaction that open Nora’s eyes to the reality of her life. And since the front door leads to the outside world, it is representative of a different kind of life, one that Nora has not led. The door, therefore, symbolizes how Krogstad’s demands provide Nora with an opportunity to leave this life.…

Life is a journey where the ultimate destination is death and while that it seems that individuals are in control of everything else before that moment, they are not. Macbeth is a tragic story where Macbeth was destined to downfall even though he was over confident about the prophecies being in favour of him. While Macbeth thought he was in control he was truly just following the Witches plan. The speaker in the poem “Rhapsody on a Windy Night” experiences a similar situation where his life is dictated by external forces. Both individuals had no control over their own lives, but were controlled by other influences in their surrounding.…

As the story goes on we discover that Nora secretly forged his father’s signature to borrowed money and save her husband’s life.…
At its foundation, a doll house is a mere set in a world created for fantasy. A tool for the creative mind to act out their imaginations. A tool used by children to pass the simple boredom of everyday life. A tool for adults to remain in the nostalgia of happiness before it is all torn apart. A tool that both helps ease the suffering of a hardened facade, and a puts a knife in the users back while cutting the strings between realism, and the unrealistic fantasy that we idolize.…
Additionally, Nora realizes by the end of the play that she never truly loved him and that he is “nothing more than a stranger” that she never truly loved. When she is asked “ will you ever think of me again” by Torvald, she responds by stating that “I shall often think of you, and the children – and this house” which is a statement of crucial importance to Nora’s development as a character. By stating this, she does not state that she will think fondly upon Torvald and her previous life as she knows that it was a mistake. She was trapped within Torvald’s dollhouse and has finally been liberated from it by her decision to leave.…
