Hi, Bloggers! My name is Melyssa and I am in Ms. Santos’ 5th period English class. I really liked when we sat in the circle and read Lord of the Flies. Now we are moving on to a new play A Doll’s House. I went and research about the story and the author. The author is Henrik Ibsen who was born in Norway. Henrik always dreamed about becoming an artist it was probably because his mother was very big in arts and theater. To learn how to write he went to an irregular school for university candidates. Most of the stories that where written by Henrik Ibsen were written for and about the middle class also life in the suburbs and small towns. One of his Plays is A Doll’s House.
The background on A Doll’s House is that it takes place in the 19th century during this time European women were very dependable on their husbands just how the main character is. He made his play a modern tragedy allowing the women to gain her independents from her husband. I think that from the title A Doll’s House that the play is probably about a family who seems to have this perfect life and they have no problems just like a regular doll house. It’s perfect everything is made just right but I think in the play everything might seem perfect on the outside but on the inside there is probably something different going on. Something that no one else knows about and they try to hide it until something happens and everyone else finds out what is really going on inside the perfect house. I can’t wait to go read it and find out what really happens.
