The school year has been very fun and exciting for me. I enjoy our in-class conversations and random moments in between reading. We will soon be reading the novel "A Doll's House" created by Henrik Ibsen. His work was a bit controversial since they were "taboo subject" (Blooms Literary References). The novel is about a women named Nora who forges her fathers signature, takes a loan without consulting her husband, and leaves the children with him to find herself.
The ending of the story has been changed many times to keep it as respectable as possible. The story itself is very scandalous but still view as a great plot by some. To others it is too much. Eric Bentley argues that "the play would be just as valid were Torvald the wife and Nora the husband. A very interesting book indeed.
