The enforcement of specific gender roles by societal standards in 19th century married life proved to be suffocating. Women were objects to perform those duties for which their gender was thought to have been created: to remain complacent, readily accept any chore and complete it “gracefully” (Ibsen 213). Contrarily, men were the absolute monarchs over their respective homes and all that dwelled within. In Henrik Ibsen’s play, A Doll’s House, Nora is subjected to moral degradation through her familial role, the consistent patronization of her husband and her own assumed subordinance. Ibsen belittles the role of the housewife through means of stage direction, diminutive pet names and through Nora’s interaction with her morally ultimate

In this story, the characters’ family is not the idealized family. It is not ideal for one to be divorced by her husband so that he can run away to his lover (who so happens to be a man). The characters in this scene (during the song “Making a Home”) are as follows: Whizzer (Marvin’s lover, also whom he divorced Trina for), Trina (Marvin’s ex-wife), Mendel (Trina’s husband and Marvin’s former psychiatrist), Jason (Marvin and Trina’s son). Jason has two pairs of parents (Marvin/Whizzer & Mendel/Trina), and his biological parents (Marvin & Trina) are seen always in the middle of a dispute. The resulting scenario shows conflict and unresolved tension throughout the show. The image attempting to get across in this song is the image of a perfect family. However, we as an audience know that not

Each family, when dissected, is built up on stereotypes to “mock” the dynamic. The “average” family that consist of Phil and Claire have typical jobs, Phil, who is a real estate rep, and Claire, a stay at home mom. Their three teenage children, Hailey, a typical high school girl obsessed with boys and strictly only concerned with her looks, the middle child, Alex, that is only focused on school and couldn’t be more opposite than Hailey, and youngest and only son, Luke that is struggling to fit in with the family being the only son. Phil’s attempt to be a “cool dad” comes off of a trying-to-hard father who cares strongly that his kids like him. Through the mockumentary style of filming the audience is able to gain insight on the challenges that come with working, parenting and growing up which are the “typical” struggles of almost any family. However, with a gay couple in the mix, it hits a broader spectrum which sheds light and attention to the entire LGBT community. Mitchell and Cameron, with their adopted child Lilly, easily have overlapping challenges in life, but through a different dynamic. Mitchell and Cameron, through their fictional interview, describe their daily challenges of work, parenting and Lilly growing up, but in addition to their challenge being gay. Since the gay community is growing and legalization of marriage has been successful in select states, the region of homosexuality is growing and

The composition of shots also exemplifies the disconnection between them. In one frame of the sequence, the family is filmed in the same frame; however, the quarrelling parents are separated by furniture whilst Maisie is positioned in the corner of the frame hidden, demonstrating their dysfunctional relationship. By this, the audience is encouraged to feel angry towards the parents for exposing their young child to this unhealthy relationship. Additionally the sound of an emergency service is heard from the distance. The blaring sirens symbolise the broken relationships within the family. However, it also represents the parents’ selfishness in failing to focus on their daughter’s needs first amidst their countless conflicts. The harsh natural lighting on

Everyone at one point in their lives is considered a conformist. Although, with growth and development their conformity turns into individuality.

Henrik Ibsen’s drama, A Doll House, was seen as controversial when it first came out in 1879. During this time, women had little to no rights. They could not vote, or work, and they were not considered able to handle their own finances. So, naturally, a drama that suggests a woman could leave her home and family in search of herself was seen as anarchy. Throughout the play there is continuous talk of women, their roles as a wife and mother, and the price they pay when they break with tradition. But is it only about women? Many argue that Torvald is just as much a victim of nineteenth century social norms as Nora.

The women were treated more as property, than significant others. Women had little to no rights which is a reason why many older

A Doll’s House, by Henrik Ibsen, portrays a young married woman, Nora, who plays a dramatic role of deception and self-indulgence. The author creates a good understanding of a woman’s role by assuming Nora is an average housewife who does not work; her only job is to maintain the house and raise the children like a stereotypical woman that cannot work or help society. In reality, she is not an average housewife in that she has a hired maid who deals with the house and children. Although Ibsen focuses on these “housewife” attributes, Nora’s character is ambitious, naive, and somewhat cunning. She hides a dark secret from her husband that not only includes borrowing money, but also forgery. Nora’s choices were irrational; she handled the
