A Doll House: Nora
.... macaroons. At the beginning of the scene she is eating some and hides the bag when Helmer enters the room. He later questions her as to whether or not she has been “breaking rules” by eating a macaroon or two, which she denies. This shows us that Helmer’s control over Nora goes so far as to include the forbidding of sweets. More importantly, it shows us that Nora willfully disobeys Helmer’s wishes. It is in this small exchange that we see a hint of Nora’s character and that perhaps she is more than s .....

Shawshank Redemption

Interpretation Of Ibsen's "A Doll's House"
.... (259). This inferior role from which Nora progressed is extremely important. Ibsen in his "A Doll's House" depicts the role of women as subordinate in order to emphasize the need to reform their role in society.
