Henrik Ibsen and his Dollhouse - first hw post

Hello there! It's Jenn Alava(: I'm 15 years old and most definitely enjoy Miss. Santos' english class 5th period ;P my favorite color is green, i have 3 siblings, a boyfriend named Joel, 2 dogs and 1 babygirl for a niece :D I'm leaving this Friday to North Carolina and will be back in school by May 26th, but you can expect to see many more posts soon. Well, the thing I have enjoyed most about Miss. Santos' class was the story A Raisin in the Sun, by Lorraine Hansberry. The movie definitely followed up with the written version well and I hope that A Doll's House will be something enjoyable about her class, too.
Before we begin actually reading the play, let me inform you a little about it through this paragraph. First off, A Doll's House was written by Henrik Ibsen, who was born in Norway. He was born on March 20, 1828 and died on May 23, 1906. Not only did he write A Doll's House, but he also wrote Hedda Gabler, The Master Builder, The Wild Duck, and Ghosts. A Doll's House is about a woman who loves her sick husband. Her name is Nora and her husband's is Torvald. It seems that A Doll's House was written based on an event that happened in Ibsens' life. Nora borrowed money from a man to pay for a trip to Italy, to save her husband's life. Torvald did not know about the loan, he actually thought it was from his wife's father. Nora had to pay back the enormous loan and deal with the ways of a complex world. This play demonstrates the roles of women, such as in marriage and motherhood. I can't wait to start reading this play!
