The Practices of Dr. Rank In the play A Doll House, by Henrik Ibsen, the convention of marriage is examined and questioned for its lack of honesty. The play is set in the late 1800s, which provides the backdrop for the debate about roles of people in society.

From the beginning of her life she is viewed as the product of a sin.

So I got to the holding area to get put into my division (they split us up according to rank, age, and weight). And what do they do? Put me in a group of only four.

Hamlet begins the rottenness imagery right away when he compares the world to “an unweeded garden that grows to seed; things rank and gross in nature posses it merely.” (1.2.135-6) He is utterly despondent and blames his mother and uncle for not feeling the way he does.

Shylock's reasons for selling out "seem ignoble." Those statements really got me thinking, so I strolled over to my trusty dictionary to look up "noble" and "worthy."

Ibsen paints distinctive pictures of both Christine and Rank as individuals, and, having established them with the audience uses them as contrasts, or foils, for Nora and Torvald.
