A Dolls House
You pass on, perhaps, never heard a discussion or symposium on the subject, Men-their role in the inn. The discussion is always about women. Men have, perhaps, no roleMen hatful as well do, some of the jobs normally d wizard by women. point instantly, the best chefs are men The never-ending talk to give equal rights to women has been going on since succession immemorial. entirely all the Acts of Parliaments all over the creative activity give not bring equality to the feminine gender.he change has to be achieved within-both men and women How can equal rights to women be given? God has created her, given her the shape of more-equal. Nobody can take that right away.It is the mother, who gives protection during the initial nine months to the divine creative force of the future-male or female A female child is victimized at every step of life, from the morsel of birth, and she sacrifices at every stage. Women need to be the legal and spiritual equals of menThe cardinal Act defend by Henrik Ibsen is dominated by the main character Nora. The Dolls House is symbolichow Nora has been aliment within the specified rules applicable to house wife-submission, submission and more submission to the wishes of her husband Before marriage, she submitted to her parents (mostly to the wishes of her father) now the state of affairs of submission is changed, but the procedure of male-dominance is the same-God bless herWith no scope to develop her own personality she is make to live under the protective umbrella of her husband but not for long Nora turns to be a dynamic rebel, gives up the structure that is considered sacred by the society and seeks the path of total transformation and replacement of her own personality. What is marriage?Two distinct individuals, two separate personalities, natural, bred and brought up in two contrary set of circumstance, try to tot up together from the day of marriage( if not courting earlier) to find a common individuality, a common goal and to be precise a common all But soon the affected one finds out that idealism and the reality are poles apartWhy the casing of social justice tilts heavily against the womenfolk and their individual liberties are at a discount? Why one finds Nora in every family in one form or the other even during the 21st vitamin C? How long need the woman contain her suppressed emotions and move forward to establish her own identity?It is the same old story through the Agesit is between Him and Her The family is run as per the dictates of Torvald, though his commands are honey-tongued. An military posture of I know everything and you know nothing is evident in his relationship with Nora.The sweet nothings he addresses to his wife worry, Is my little lark twittering there?(Ibsen, 2007, p. 6) Is it my little squirrel bustling about?(p. 6) Has my little spendthrift been wasting notes again?(p. 6) You extravagant little person (p.8) Hasnt Miss Sweet-Tooth been breaking rules in t own today?(p.10) are all indicators of his superiority complex. And Torvald very clearly issues his edict as for planning the family budget. He says, That is like a woman But seriously, Nora you know what I think about that. No debt, no borrowing.There can be no freedom or beauty about a home life that depends on borrowing and debt. We two have kept bravely on the straight road so far, and we will go on the same way for the short while longer that there need be any struggle. (p.7) Ibsen has tackled several themes, mixed them very well, like a womans illusion in marriage, wealth, feminism, betrayal, etc.How A Dolls House has been created within the house, how the woman functions inside the demarcated boundariessuch issues are dealt with in orderigently. In the later part of the comprise Nora walks away from her family. Her undoing and the reason for falling from the grace of her husband is she bad a bank note to save her husbands life when no one else could. How she is compelled t o tell a series of lies, and it looks as though such behavior is part of her personality. She does not feel illegal about it but for Torvald it is a major and fundamental issue.It is reveal to have the world united than the world divided but it is better to have the world divided than the world destroyed, said Mr. Winston Churchill at the time of II World War. Similarly instead of destroying the family and the psyche of children, by endless misunderstandings, honorable separation is betterAmin Maalouf in his book, Leo the African, describes a poignant situation of the woman in the medieval society thus Gaudy Sarah came to see meto sell amulets, bracelets, perfumes made from lemon, ambergris, jasmine and water lilies, and to tell fortunes.without lifting her eyes, she said these words, which I bring forward to this day.For us, the women of Granada, freedom is a deceitful form of bondage, and slavery a subtle from of freedom. Then saying no more, she took out a tiny greenish stoppe r bottle from her wicker basket.Tonight, you must pour three drops of this elixir in to a glass of orgeat syrup, and offer it to your husband with your own hand. He will come to you like a butterfly towards the light. Do it again after three nights, and again after seven.(Maalouf, 1994, p.6) For the sake of getting the attention of her husband, what abnormal steps the woman is compelled to takeConclusionNorwegian playwright Henrik Ibsen was born in 1828. The play was written in 1879. It was performed in London in 1889.Nearly thirteen decades after the play is written, the issues touched upon and discussed in the play are like the counseling sessions for the female gender, in todays materialistic civilization, highly impacted by the industrial and internet revolutions.Women have taken great strides and have already caught up with men in several important areas. This need not be construed as the race between the male and female gendersrather it is the reality Equality is the birthrig ht of one and all.
