Answer:

Helmer Torvald wants his wife Nora to be the type of wife who will depend on him for assistance and in whatever she does. He wants her to be incapable of living without him.

By calling her by different names, animal and bird names, Helmer is asserting his superiority and power over her, representative of the society's stand on patriarchal notions.

Explanation:

In Henrik Ibsen's "<em>A Doll's House</em>", Helmer calls Nora by various nick names as his way of asserting his authority over her. through the images of the bird and animals names, he is imagining himself as a protective figure in her life, the one to depend on and the masculine help that Nora needs to survive. Through the name calling, he is not only asserting his power but also dehumanizes her to a certain level. he sees himself as superior to her feminine being, incapable of surviving without a stronger presence. The only time he ever calls her by her name is to scold her. Other than that, he uses the nicknames, depicting his personal convictions of maintaining the gender roles in the society and family of those times.

Novay_Z [31]

Hello. This question is incomplete. The full question is:

Explain why Bud says that "It's funny how ideas are, in a lot of ways they're just like seeds. Both of them start real small and then ... Woop, zoop, sloop ... Before you can say Jack Robinson they've gone and grown a lot bigger than you ever thought they could"

Answer:

Bud says this to show how a small and insignificant idea became something big inside him, becoming his biggest goal.

Explanation:

Bud explains that the idea of looking for and finding his father was insignificant, small in his subconscious and that he could go unnoticed by other more important and impacting ideas, however, over time, that idea grew and grew until he became the biggest goal of his life. To better explain it to the reader, he makes reference to how a seed so small can become such a large and imposing tree. The seed symbolizes the idea and the tree symbolizes the goal.
