Question

Read the passage from A Doll’s House.

Answer 1

Answer: Women are expected to be invisible in society.

Answer 2

The theme that is explored in the two passages that re given in this question is this: WOMEN ARE EXPECTED TO BE INVISIBLE IN THE SOCIETY.

Explanation:

Two passages are attached to this question and we are required to find out a theme that is common to both passages.

In passage 1, the most obvious theme that one can easily recognized is that of women's job of raising children. Another theme, that is hidden inside this passage is that of exposure to the society. Helmer was scolding Nora and she told her that by deserting her family, she will be exposing herself to the public and to critical statements, but Nora told her that she doesn't care about that.

In passage 2, the most obvious theme that was treated is that of women's need to protect themselves from publicity.

Thus, the theme that both passages have in common is that of women's need to be invisible in the society.
