Which themes of Henrik Ibsen's A Doll's House are reflected in this excerpt from act 1 of the play? NORA (Smiling and humming):

That's my affair! (Walking about the room) It's perfectly glorious to think that we have—that Torvald has so much power over so many people. (Takes the packet from her pocket) Doctor Rank, what do you say to a macaroon? RANK: What, macaroons? I thought they were forbidden here. NORA: Yes, but these are some Christine gave me. MRS. LINDE: What! I?— NORA: Oh, well, don't be alarmed! You couldn't know that Torvald had forbidden them. I must tell you that he is afraid they will spoil my teeth. But, bah!—once in a way—That's so, isn't it, Doctor Rank? By your leave! (Puts a macaroon into his mouth) You must have one too, Christine. And I shall have one, just a little one—or at most two. (Walking about) I am tremendously happy. There is just one thing in the world now that I should dearly love to do.

The themes that are reflected in the excerpt are the following:

  • Control and rebellion against it. The excerpt states that Torvald, Nora's husband has "much power over so many people" but the fact that Nora eats a macaroon (which is forbidden) shows that she rebels against that control.
  • Love and marriage. Nora and Torvald enjoy playing the role of a common married couple of that time. Even though Nora claims to always obey Torvald she breaks the law of marriage at that time when she disobeys her husband who has banned her from eating macaroons.

Short-response prompt (15 points)
Bogdan [553]

The Balinese production of The Tempestuses shadow puppetry to display an interpretation of William Shakespeare’s famous work. This alternative form of performance focuses more on the fluidity, or sharpness, of the characters’ movement. When analyzing Ariel in this form, it is very apparent that her actions are very projected compared to other characters, by the excess movement of her arms and fingers. However, this projection is shown not with velocity in motion, but with a very smooth complexion in Ariel’s movement. This emphasizes the fragility of her character by connecting her to something very easily tampered with, like the smoothness of still water, that changes with something even as soft as a breeze. The Balinese play also uses the clever technique of utilizing their lighting as a form of portraying Ariel’s character, by physically moving the actor towards and away from the light in order to change the size of the shadow shown. This was well utilized by not only Ariel, but the entire Balinese cast. When Prospero manipulates Ariel into believing that her deed was an act of gratitude for releasing her from her imprisonment, the cast makes Prospero noticeably larger in size and Ariel noticeably smaller. This adds dynamic contrast to the characters and allows the audience to view Ariel as much more timid and frail, as well as Prospero much scarier and evil.
