A Doll's House

In my opinion the theme of A Doll's house is The Sacrificial Role of Women. Even though men refuse to sacrifice their integerity, thousands of women have. In this play it gives a good example of this. In order for Mrs. Linde to support her mother and two brothers,she found it necessary to abandon Krogstad. Her true but penniless love, and marry a richer man. The nanny had to abandon her own child to support herself by working as Nora's (and then as Nora's children's) caretaker. As she tells Nora, the nanny considers herself lucky to have found the job, since she was “a poor girl who'd been led astray.” Society dictates that Torvald be the dominant partner in their marriage so Nora hides the loan from him. He could never accept the fact that Nora had helped save his lfe. Nora then works in secret to pay off her loan because it is illegal for a woman to obtain a loan without her husband's permission. I think it is called A Doll's House because he has treated her like a doll, to be played with and admired. This causes her to leave him so she can “make sense of herself and everything around her.

Good Student

Coming up with a play was not as easy as I thought it would be. The first problem we came across was a plot. We had to figure out the challenges and situations we wanted the good student to go through. We had to make sure our point was clear and that it made sense. Getting the plot down was the hardest part but once we got that, everything else seemed to come together. It was difficult to get a situation about procrastination because we did ours based off of saw. So it turned out to be brutal because thats how all those movies are but our situation fit perfectly with procrastination. The situation was the good student is nailed to the ground and above him is a swinging saw. In order to escape he has to push the buttons by his hand but everytime he pushes it, it crushes his hand. The saw drops lower and lower by the seconds slowly cutting him so he can not procrstinate and wait to push the buttons. He has to decide to crush his hands or slowly die.
