A Character Analysis of Nora in Ibsen's A Doll's House It is a general consensus that women play more than one role after they are married and have a family. These roles include wife, mother, chauffeur, and nurse. In A Doll's House, Nora is given many roles to play and, though some of the above are included, she also plays the role of child, friend, confidante, and manipulator. But the greatest feat that she accomplishes is her star performance as doting daughter and submissive spouse. Nora has been acting out a role to fit everyone's expectations of her since she was a small child. "When I was home with Daddy, he told me all his opinions, and so they became my options too. If I disagreed with him I kept it to myself, for he wouldn't have liked that. He called me his little doll baby, and he played with me the way I played with my dolls" (Act III 945) one can imagine Nora as a young child, living under the conditions that she did, knowing that, if she did want to make a decision for herself, her father wouldn't love her anymore. under those circumstances, her reactions to the restrictions posed upon her were normal. They also made life easier for her; she could simply have fun and enjoy life. Her father's attitude was undoubtedly the main reason that she picked a man like Torvald to marry. Unconsciously, she was still seeking a father figure, a…

Aristotle’s definition of character is “that in virtue of which we ascribe certain qualities to the agents” (Butcher). What he means by this is that the character should have certain qualities that would contribute to their eventual misery in the play. Heracles’ essential quality in the plot is shown in the following quote spoken by Iris, “…him whom they call the son of Zeus and Alcmena” (Euripides). Heracles is the son of the god Zeus and Alcmena which incites Hera’s jealousy towards him as he…

They have a want and a need. They both want to experience life to its fullest and need to be noticed. DIALOGUE: The dialogue doesn’t reveal enough worthwhile information to push the story forward, but it did make me laugh. Too much black blocks of dialogue on each page.It’s a cute conversation between two old people rambling on about stuff a young audience would not care about or understand. The voice of each character doesn’t reveal anything new about them that merits the blocky dialogue. Each…
