The theme from
A Doll's House is similar to "A Rose for Emily" and "The Yellow Wallpaper." The women were being trapped in a house and had limited of rights. Each of these women were married, but it did not seem that their husband loved them enough. They each had to be confined by the authority of their husband. Tovald was supposed to be her protector, but revealed himself as a selfish man who value reputation over Nora's reputation. John was supposed to be the narrator's doctor and husband, but revealed himself as male domination over his wife. Emily was being confined by her father's belief. She could not get marry without her father's approval. He controlled who she would be able to marry to. The stories portrayed these woman who had limited of rights and to be confined to the male domination. They each found their way to overcome it.

ReplyDeleteI agree that all these women were "restricted" by their husbands or belittled in one way or another. Good analysis, one should definitely understand their similarities and build a better observation of the stories when looking at them.
ReplyDeleteGood job with the relations to Yellow Wallpaper and A Rose for Emily. They were all valid points and you answered the question fully and without flaw.
ReplyDeleteI actually did not really think "A Rose for Emily" was that close to "A Doll's House" but I do see it now. Very good point. I definitely agree with "Yellow Wallpaper".
ReplyDeleteYes, many men back then were jerks to their female partners. Even though the customs were to bring down the women, it still sucks to read about it. How do you feel about the way women were treated back then, besides from what the stories portray?
ReplyDeleteIt is also similar to The Daughter's Of the late Colonel-both sisters are confined and restricted in their lives, even though their father has died. Also, there are similarities between Jane Eyre, The Tennant Of Wildfell Hall amoungst several others.
