“Miss Pandora, how do you like your evening gown?” a maid asks me as she assists me in putting on my long linen dress. It is a long sleeved, black and gold evening gown with a white ribbon draped around the waist. The dress has the gold linen fabric as a base with black fabric as a second layer. The torso is covered with a thin layer of black lace starting on the left shoulder and extends to the right side of the waist. The dress below the waist is sprinkled with golden sparkles on the black fabric like stars shining under the dark night sky. “Thank you, Leina. This gown is beautiful.” I reply to her as I spin around in front of the mirror to check the overall of the gown. Then I walk toward the dressing table made from Sandalwood, breeze …show more content…

All guests are greeted by the servants and guided to the different waiting rooms and the garden before the start of the prodigal celebration party.

With anticipation and curiosity, I turn the handle and allow the scenery to fulfill my sight. The center of the garden is a small water fountain with detailed work on the characters engraved on the sides. Abench is planted by the side of the garden in between the sea of flowers. A trail is cleared around the water fountain and to the flowers on the outer ring of the garden. The flowers are a mix of different tulips and roses, such sight is fascinating. It is clearly stated by the flowers and the tidiness of this garden that the gardener took good care of …show more content…

They were each other’s halves, they were a whole when they met each other. The two girls wanted to create a perfect doll, a doll worthy to be called a perfection. Arodnap was the dollmaker, she was in charge of creating the perfect doll. As for Riek, she was in charge of providing those rare materials that normal dollmaker have no access to. Working toward the same goal they were aiming day after day, night after night. Everything seems so perfect… but it also seems so distorted. The two went into an argument that ultimately just breaks the bond they put their effort into building. It was about the dream that they wanted so badly, they were argue about this extremely rare yet common material to use as the base coat for the doll that Arodnap created. The dollmaker demanded flawless skin and bones from humans. This corrupted Riek’s believe of purity in the doll, she just couldn’t agree with her best friend on this. The fight ended the partnership between the two and their friendship. Riek ran out of Arodnap’s cottage in tears, not knowing that was her last straw to be alive. Riek realized that her body is getting weaker and weaker as she run… then she just dropped down to the floor. A large man that was following her carried her back to a small hut that was nearby and tied her body to the wooden bed that laid in the middle of the room. “We made a deal, you were to finish her off for me and I will

    These were seven—an imperial suite. In many palaces, however, such suites form a long and straight vista, while the folding doors slide back nearly to the walls on either hand, so that the view of the whole extent is scarcely impeded. Here the case was very different, as might have been expected from the Duke’s love of the bizarre. The apartments were so irregularly disposed that the vision embraced, but little more than one at a time. There was a sharp turn at every twenty or thirty yards, and at each turn a novel effect.

    In A Doll’s House, Ibsen portrays his lead character, Nora, who is a housewife in the Helmer’s family. She has undergone a transformation throughout the play that she reacts differently to her husband. Her husband, Torvald, is an example of men who are only interested in their appearance and the amount of control they have over a person. In particular, he has a very clear and narrow definition of a woman's role. At the beginning of the story, as from the title of the play, Nora symbolizes the “doll” in the house, which means that she has been treated as treats Nora like a child or doll. For example, husband called Nora ‘bird’ and it implies that husband treats her like his pet and she is his doll as the title is a doll house.

    1433 Words  | 3 Pages

    In the play A Doll House, by Henrik Ibsen, Nora and Torvald’s marriage seems to have been torn apart by Krogstad’s extortion plot, but in reality their marriage would have ended even without the events in the play. Torvald’s obsession with his public appearance will eventually cause him to break the marriage. Nora’s need for an identity will ultimately cause her to leave Torvald even without Krogstad’s plot. Lastly the amount of deception and dishonesty between Torvald and Nora would have resulted in the same conclusion sooner or later. In this essay I will argue that Nora and Torvald’s relationship would have ended even without Krogstad’s extortion plot.

    Throughout A Doll’s House, Henrik Ibsen illustrates through an intriguing story how a once infantile-like woman gains independence and a life of her own. Ibsen creates a naturalistic drama that demonstrates how on the outside Nora and Torvald seam to have it all, but in reality their life together is empty. Instead of meaningful discussions, Torvald uses degrading pet names and meaningless talk to relate to Nora. Continuing to treat Nora like a pampered yet unimportant pet, Torvald thoroughly demonstrates how men of his era treat women as insignificant items to be possessed and shown off. While the Helmer household may have the appearance of being sociably acceptable, the marriage of Torvald and Nora was falling apart because of the lack of identity, love, and communication.

  • Pet Names and Belittlement: Henrik Ibsen's A Doll's House

    1320 Words  | 3 Pages

    In a dolls house, Ibsen has combined several characters with diverse personal qualities and used them to develop the story line as well as bring to life the major themes and issues that the plot is meant to address. Primarily there are two types of characters who can be categorized as static and dynamic, the static characters remain the same form the start to the end of a story and despite the events taking place around them, and they do not change their perception or altitudes. These types of characters are often “punished” for their inflexibility especially when there are antagonists. In A doll’s house, Nora’s husband Torvald is depicted as such, he treats Nora like she is a child and proves incapable of understanding the depth of her inner feeling or her personal strength which albeit not manifest at first are preset nevertheless. At the end of the play, he is still holding on to the same patronizing altitude and this results in her leaving him claiming quite rightly, that he does not understand her. The second type of character which Nora embodies is the dynamic character, whereby she is flexible, undergoes growth and changes in personality and perception as the story develops, again she respond more deeply to situations and circumstances. This is evident when the childish Nora who Ibsen introduces is not a decisive, intelligent and pragmatic woman who is gradually revealed, and the climax of her transformation is seen when she authoritatively terminates her marriage to Torvald who had appeared to be in control of her all along. The primary focus of this paper is to examine the character of Nora and explores her various attributes in the context of the plot and concerning her relationship with the other characters in “A doll’...

    In A Doll House, Ibsen presents us with Torvald and Nora Helmer, a husband and wife who have lived together for eight years and still don't know each other. This rift in their relationship, caused in part by Torvald's and Nora's societally-induced gender roles and also by the naivete of both parties to the fact that they don't truly love one another, expands to a chasm by the end of the play, ultimately causing Nora to leave Helmer. Throughout most of the play, Ibsen continually has his characters prepare for a masquerade ball that takes place at their friends' house.

  • Descriptive Essay - The Evangelic Church

    425 Words  | 1 Pages

    When I was a child I used to be frightened of entering such a place for it seemed so imposing and somewhat dangerous, especially when music was being played. One day, in order to keep a promise I had made, I saw myself forced to enter. It took me quite a while to get the courage to pass through the old oak door, but the moment I stepped in, I realized just how enchanting and breathtaking this building could be. Its fantastic architecture and exquisite frescoes reflect perfectly the unity between this earth and the unseen kingdom of angels in such a manner that one cannot say where one ends and the other begins. The way in which the church was built is also the vivid testimony of a medieval period. Although it is a place that can sometimes be cold and ask for respect it is where prayers are answered and magic is done. An overwhelming feeling of inner harmony takes over you once you enter and God seems much closer. Darkness and light are welded perfectly together creating Redemption’s house. The tower allows you to see the entire town from the smallest river to the biggest building site, offering you its mightiness.
