1.0 Observation
Having gone through “A Doll House”, there was a personal observation to the effect that the author relies on literary methods to elaborate the broader status of human life in a society. In perspective, these elements of the story seem to either be the traits of the characters, their experiences, or the setting of the story. These experiences are brought out using literal methods to paint a picture in the mind of the reader.
2.0 Premises
For instance, the play A Doll's House, the author majorly focuses on the use of secondary characters to dramatically contrast with Nora who acts the main character. In this case, it is evident that Nora the wife to Torvalds Hermer spent most of her days glorifying and praising her marriage as well as applauding her husband. She was surrounded by a number of characters who had to put up with the reality of life. Actually, the scenario in which Mrs. Linde a former school friend visited Norah and told her that she had lost a husband, Nora asserts that she would to come up for her own self. As such, the author presents this scenario in a form that shows complete contrasts whereby one woman is happy of her marriage whereas the other is grieving after losing her husband. Actually, the grieving character says that she is all alone by herself. She feels empty and forsaken due to the loss of her husband (Ibsen, Leverson &Worrall 47). This is a clear indication and lesson that the social reality presents people with different experiences drawn from the same aspect of life. The entire description paints an image in the mind of the reader in such a manner that relates with their real marriage situation. In other words, from a critical point of view, the literal method used represents a certain form of virtual reality reflected in the social circles.
