soul; these are poverty, disease, injustice; and the foulest of these is injustice, the evil of the soul, because that brings the greatest hurt.” A major common theme between “What to the Slave Is the Fourth of July” and Plato’s dialogues is the condemnation of evil.

Henrik Ibsen’s play, A Doll’s House, introduces a 19th-century housewife, Nora Helmer, whose husband imposes strict rules upon her in order to maintain a patriarchal way of life.
