I think that A Doll’s House is a drama. It is a drama because it closely resembles real-life. It in fact resembles the life that many women had to face not too long ago when men were still in control of everything, including their wives.

Asma do not share the same years they do share the same concerns, they are both attracted to explain why monsters affect us so much as humans. Both of…
