- 4292: A Doll House: The Disadvantage of Determinism
- ... Rank and Nora, demonstrate the lack of freedom one has as a result of hereditary determinism. Dr. Rank, for example, suffers from a physical disease passed on to him from his father.

Whether it is the acting or the directing, Huston’s audience feels none of the lust Gabriel feels for his wife ... as he does so in the text.

However, in Huston’s film Gabriel tells the story only to his wife during their cab ride home.
