It is also representative of the husband-wife equation, the life of a married woman, and the institution of marriage as a whole in a male dominated society of 19th century Norway. it shows the need for the women's dependence on her husband for everything, and the incapacity of the female gender in doing things on their own. It shows the married life of women expected to be submissive, obedient and dependent on the men.

Explanation:

Henrik Ibsen's play "A Doll's House" is about the woman's position in the society and family, especially in Norway of the mid nineteenth century. The play may be openly dealing with the marriage of the characters Nora and Torvald but it also at the same time deals with the societal issue of a housewife in a patriarchal society.

The play shows the 'husband-wife' equation as the perfect way of how it should be. Nora represents the dutiful and submissive, loving wife while Torvald is the earning, head of the family. He is the symbol of what a husband should be, going out everyday, earning for the family, while the wife is expected to stay at home and look after the household. Also, the wife depends on her husband for making decisions. But aside from the small picture of this 'husband-wife equilibrium', the play also deals with the larger picture of the institution of marriage as a whole in the Norwegian society of the 19th century. The women are expected to be obedient, dependent on their husbands for anything, and the roles of husband and wife being confined in their separate boxes. The men seems to have major control over the whole household, with the fate of a married woman dependent on the husband. In a male dominated society, women like Nora are expected to simply give in to their husbands, and whatever decisions they need making, should be in consultation with the men.

With crack on crack of thunder, zeus let fly a bolt against the ship, a direct hit, so that she bucked, in reeking fumes of sulphur, and all the men were flung into the sea. they came up 'round the wreck, bobbing a while like petrels on the waves. no more seafaring homeward for these, no sweet day of return; the god had turned his face from them. –the odyssey, homer read the passage. then, identify the theme that is supported by the passage. most ships cannot survive a terrible thunderstorm. the ocean is an angry beast that will tame any who try to control it. the gods have the power to control human destiny. men are willing to die to eat the delicious cattle of the gods.
