For my sophomore English class last piece of writing for the year, we're reading the play A Doll's House by Henrik Ibsen. The play is about a woman named Nora who is married to Trovald, and the story displays how he treats her like a child and not a wife.throughout the story, Nora borrows money from a man named Krogstad, which causes problems later on in the future of Nora and Trovald. Problems begin to erupt between the two and causes a major out come in the end. a quote that i found in the play and really liked, "A person can’t be happy when falling into the mold of someone else. To be happy, one must be oneself and know oneself. Since all of Nora’s life, she followed right behind her father and her husband, she did not know herself and had to leave to learn " (tripod.com).But i don't want to ruin the story so to know the rest read the play or wait for future post to be updated.
Since we know something about the play, what about the author? Henrik Ibsen was born on 1828 in Skien, Norway. He's a man who cherished the theatre his whole life. At age twenty-one he didn't care to be come a playwritter or pursue journalism since he was out of college. Still he continued to write and worked at National Theater in Bergen where he learned about show business and found his passion in the theatre. He began writing many plays, which the one we're reading is A Doll's house. Later in his life Henrik suffered many strokes and pass away at the age of seventy-eight.
