The Doll's House

There is a common struggle between the call of duty and the desire to live one’s life in the two plays “A Doll’s House” by Henrik Ibsen and “The Glass Menagerie” by Tennessee Williams. Nora, from “A Doll’s House” didn’t realize her desire to live her own life until the end of the play and she dealt with the struggle by convincing herself that she was unfit to be a mother and a wife. Tom, from “The Glass Menagerie” always struggled between his responsibility to his family and his desire to be a merchant marine. Both Nora and Tom were trapped by the circumstances of life and needed to get out. Other characters struggled as well, and we can see this through character traits and flaws, abandonment, and character transformations.

Transcendence is the experience we have in relation to our religious environment, something that pulls us out of ourselves to something objectively greater. Also, it is the aspiration to achieve something more. A way of life, prayer, and worship embodies spirituality. Including the gap between what we are, and what we aspire to be. In Greek, there is the concept of “Askesis” which is the art of living, and the Greeks aspired to theorize an art of living well. The Greeks had another concept of “Praxis” which is the idea that our “spiritual transcendent life needs to be worked on,” and comes through discipline.

Symbolism is frequently used in dramatic works to represent abstract ideas and qualities, potentially in the form of people, objects, places, or actions. Henrik Ibsen’s A Doll’s House and Tennessee Williams’ The Glass Menagerie each include various symbols to represent the social messages that the authors are trying to convey to the audience.

A Doll’s House, by Henrik Ibsen, portrays a young married woman, Nora, who plays a dramatic role of deception and self-indulgence.

The Two Doll Houses After reading Henrik Ibsen’s original play, A Doll’s House, one question kept lingering in my mind: would a more positive ending convey the same message?
