I decided to incorporate the central themes Fate, History and Sacrifice, because those select themes stood out the most to me during this novel.

Botticelli is no stranger to the use of Venus in art; three of his paintings – Birth of Venus, Primavera, and Venus and Mars – depict Venus as the central figure.

In fact, “So much has it disturbed audiences that a few well-known productions changed the ending to have her return before the curtain falls”(Brooks). After all, why would a mother abandon her children and her husband with no clear indication as to if she were going to return? In its time, Nora’s decision was considered disgraceful as well as practically unheard of, and, continues…
