Influence of secondary characters in the evolution of the main character
Introduction
In the work Casa de Dolls, written by the Russian playwright Henrik Ibsen according to its contextualization in which the dramatic work consisting of 4 acts is written on which it is mainly based on the social conflicts that occurred at the time mentioned, suchas the questioning of the true role of women and at the same time the machismo that occurs at the beginning of the plot and that in the end becomes a type of feminism, in which the social and at the same time cultural contexts develops, the truth behindOf the facets that each character has in itself, all this generates a great scandal in the characters, getting out of their own role.
Developing
This shows that the author has a literary style and technique that makes the reading public interested in it, in addition to the fact that the same author was based on his time in the nineteenth century, where a bourgeois society was presence, in addition to the fact thatIn that society it is located in the ideology of realism so several people took importance to reality and began writing dramatic works and novels based on it. Constituted by 3 acts, a simple style is highlighted, which forms some literary figures necessary by a dietary hetero omniscient narrator, since it is a dramatic theatrical work, where the approach is not given due to the narrator, since it is not part of theHistory, this presents a colloquial language, since it makes the use followed by the suspensive points.
As mentioned before, the work stands out for its social and partial contexts, this is given in Nora, which comes out of its ideal role, breaking its role as a character and woman in her perspective, emphasizing that she was the doll of herFather and her husband and that is the reason why this drama is titled as a dollhouse, giving them reason in everything, paying attention to their orders as a submissive in their home, in addition to the economy had an impact on this family. As consistent, there were secondary characters, and even Krogstad that influenced Nora’s evolution as the main character, who during the work made their point of view in it, that is why he made the decision to leave his home andIt makes known that we can also be free and partly better than the male gender.
Doll Casa is a dramatic work written by the famous author Henrik Ibsen who was born in 1828. In which it develops in Nora who is the protagonist of this play, a woman dependent on her husband, without having her own decisions, that in the passing of the drama she discovers that she has to be free, dependent with the help of secondary characters. What you want to convey is how these characters have some evolution in this case in Nora. For this, the corresponding arguments will be made below.
SEXISM
In the first place we have the appearance of Torvaldo who was a secondary representative character in which Nora looks very faithful to him, doing the duties he commissioned or by his own will, then this caused in Torvaldo to try to possess her in addition to the fact that theHe considered his property. This is evidenced in the following Nora fragment: and will do so. Leave it in my hands.
And you will see how well I’m going to prepare it! I will look for something pleasant to predispose him.
I have so much desire to be useful!. In which he refers to her husband Torvaldo to which Nora from the beginning had that attitude of being able to perform her role as a woman in the home, from her childhood depended on her father and now it depends on a husband then in this dimension she thinks I thank yousomething productive for him in his will. For which it is possible to say that Nora acquires a submissive attitude as the title of the work says: a doll.
Threats
Apart from this, a secondary character appears which is Krogstad who is an attorney, and that a few months ago I lend money to Nora to save her husband’s life without being knowing. This is evidenced in the following dimension: Nora: Will you be able to tell my husband about the loan? Krogstad: What if I did? This is how Krogstad tries to manipulate Nora, in exchange for her stay in her work where her husband plannedIt will be evidenced in the following fragment: Krogstad:
It is surprising, Madam that her father signed the document three days after her death. It is also strange that the date two of October and the year, are not written by the hand of their father, but by another hand, which I think is to recognize … well;That is explainable. His father may forget to date the signature and that there is anyone before his death. In that there is nothing wrong. What matters is the firm. I appear that it will be the authentic, right? Because I suppose it would be his own father who put his name … It is shown that Nora falsify signatures since to make a loan it should have an authorization from the male, to which Krogstad required the signature of Nora’s father. Therefore it implies the following: who commanded in the family was the male and not the woman so stereotypes are generated once again.
In addition, some different behaviors in
Nora in the following fragment: Nora:
Bah will want to scare me! But I’m not so candid although … no, it’s not possible! If I did it for love … the children: Mama, the man has gone! Nora: Yes, yes;I already know it. But don’t talk about him anymore, have you heard? Nor Dad! Children: No, mom, do we play? Nora: No, no;not now. The children: Oh, mom! You had promised us. Nora: Yes;But now I can’t: I have a lot to do. Walk, march, my children. Here is reflected the influence that Krogstad had on her, since not allowing her children not to play with her is something strange in her, it is as if Nora were a poison for her children and does not want to contaminate them. Therefore, the protagonist felt guilt and does not want to take her children along that path, she wants the best for them despite her past.
In the same way, when Dr. Rank has some confidence in Nora, after having confessed the confidence that Nora has, through each advice or conversation they maintained and that made Nora feel more safe than herself, in theNext fragment represents: Doctor Rank: When I’m sitting here with you, I can’t understand … no, I don’t fit in my head … what would have happened to me if I hadn’t come to this house. This shows that the Dr. Rank who also liked being in company with Nora, both felt satisfied, in a security and trust bond between the two.
Therefore, to maintain confidence between them is there where Dr. Rank influences Nora’s life by changing part of his personality and at the same time being more autonomous and sensible herself. Then Nora submits to several changes that arise from each of the secondary characters such as Torvaldo, who sees her as her toy in which she looks in this fragment: Nora: that is what it is about. You have never understood me. Many mistakes were made with me. First my father;Then you. Helmer: Your father and I, who loved you most. Nora: You never loved me. I had the whim of playing with the girl. Helmer: But, Nora, what words are those? Nora: The pure truth, Torvaldo. When Pope lived, he told me all his ideas, and I followed them. If I had different ones, I was very good to say it, because I wouldn’t have liked. He called me his doll, and played with me, neither more nor less than me with my dolls. Then I came to this house together with you ..
conclusion
Then it is mentioned that when the whole work passes in the end, that bandage of which was blinded for several years is removed, that band that her husband and the father himself left to her, and realized what caused in it, he wanted to flee from all of them. Then we concluded that the characters that had influenced more in Nora were his father and his own husband, this leads Nora to obtain some carefree attitudes and that he does not have the courage to face the situations of life.
