Husband

Mallard died from the joy of seeing that her husband is still alive. In the end of the story Brently Mallard, Mrs. Mallard’s husband, showed up and ended up not being dead. But what makes this dramatic is that the characters believe she died of joy when she actually died of a heart disease.

The selection I read, “Remember the Ladies,” was a letter written by Abigail Adams for her husband John Adams in 1776. Mr. Adams was one of the founding fathers, and the second president of the United States. Mrs. Adams had a lot of influence on her husband, very much unlike other women during this time period.

In Henrik Ibsen’s “A Doll House” one of the most noteworthy character contrasts exists between Nora Helmer and Mrs. Linde. At the start of the play, Nora is portrayed as a cheerful wife and mother who tries to outdo herself by amusing her husband all the time. Mrs. Linde; however, is a recent widow with no children, and with no one left to take care of.

dialogue really shows the loss of all hope for the woman. The idea that her husband was incapable of identifying the terms of the loss that was clearly overpowering the grave of his wife was in my opinion pitiful to see the conflicting positions of this couple. A mother gives a child life, takes great care of it and for her husband not to see the enduring problem, was difficult to read. She has become sorrowful, but her husband remains normal as though burying a child was easy. In reality, the…

my husband?”(Ibsen 153). Taken from the play, A Doll’s House, this quote, spoken from the perspective of Nora, reveals the different roles and separate spheres between her and her husband, Torvald.

Through the actions and views of both Torvald and Nora, Ibsen explores the traditional roles between husband and…

the Waiting (Waiting on Mr. Right) As women we find ourselves stressing over who our husband to-be is. Have you ever thought that Mr. Right is in the waiting? Why, of course I’ve thought that! But have you thought of why? The oh-too common prayer, “God, send me my husband,” has gotten entirely too old. Perhaps, our husband can’t be sent to us because we’re not ready to receive him.
