  17. A Doll's House
    These are some of the topics for world lit essay that i have thought of till now:

    1] how does the title " A Doll's House" explain the society's beliefs and behaviour?
    2] how does Ibsen convey the message of increasing human rights- women rights and roles in the society?
    3] to what extent did money and reputation played a significant role for men's superiority in the late 19th century?
    4] to what extent does Ibsen hint the treating of Nora compared to a puppet?
    5] how can we compare the relationship of Torvald and Nora to a married couple in the present day?
    not sure which one i'll do....
