Obedience and control is a recurring theme of Henrik Ibsen’s A Doll’s House. Which line in this excerpt from act 1 of the play r

eflect this theme?
HELMER: Nora, Nora, and you would be a party to that sort of thing? To have any talk with a man like that, and give him any sort of promise? And to tell me a lie into the bargain?

Nora. A lie—?

HELMER: Didn't you tell me no one had been here? (Shakes his finger at her) My little songbird must never do that again. A songbird must have a clean beak to chirp with--no false notes! (Puts his arm round her waist) That is so, isn't it? Yes, I am sure it is. (Lets her go) We will say no more about it. (Sits down by the stove) How warm and snug it is here! (Turns over his papers.)

NORA (After a short pause, during which she busies herself with the Christmas Tree): Torvald!

HELMER: Yes.

NORA: I am looking forward tremendously to the fancy-dress ball at the Stenborgs' the day after tomorrow.

HELMER: And I am tremendously curious to see what you are going to surprise me with.

Answer: My little songbird must never do that again. A songbird must have a clean beak to chirp with--no false notes!

"A Doll's House" deals with the topic of obedience. Moreover, it discusses the differences in gender roles between men and women. In this excerpt, Nora is compared to a "songbird." She is scolded for lying, and is told that, because she is a songbird, she should not engage in that kind of deception. This shows not only that lying is wrong, but more importantly, that Nora is expected as a woman to be obedient, and follow the behaviour that Helmer thinks is better.

Metaphors that compare humans to animals are very effective because they
Ganezh [65]
Metaphors that compare humans to animals "anthropomorphize" them. Anthropomorphization is a literary device that gives human qualities to animals. These metaphors may help to highlight the similarities between animal natures and human nature, which illustrates how truly similar every living thing is to each other. Hope this helps.

Answer:

Since the narrator did this as an act of selfishness, he should be blamed guilty for Doodle's death.

Explanation:

During the course of the story, we could see many moments where the inner thoughts and feelings of the narrator are described to the reader. We also get a character named Doodle, which we know has a disability and was different. We know that the narrator had pride, and didn't want to be ashamed for having a brother different from others. We also notice that the narrator was sometimes cruel to Doodle, like when he threatened to leave him unless he touched his own coffin, made when he was expected to die at birth.

The narrator was selfish and prideful and wanted Doodle to be capable, and like others before going to school. When walking, he would quicken his pace or make Doodle swim till he turned blue, or run till he turned red.

In the last scene (which is the scene where Doodle dies), the narrator quickens his pace and runs through the pouring rain, despite Doodle's fear and tiredness. This shows us that the Narrator doesn't appreciate Doodle as he is, and wants Doodle to be someone normal, to not be ashamed.

Therefore, since the narrator did this as an act of selfishness, he should be blamed guilty for Doodle's death.
