A Dolls House Theme2

"Innocence" is another theme from A Dolls House. Nora, Torvalds wife did something illegal but in her perspective she did no wrong. It was to save her husbands life even though if he found out he would be devistated and would probably divorce her and take their kids. She took her chances and borrowed the money, something Torvald absolutely hates, and took him on a trip to better his health. She did the right thing by trying to save his life but everything comes to the light and she should not have did it. Nora just didn't want to loose her  husband and be a widow. I can relate to her decision because if i was in her shoes i would have did the same thing for my husband. If he had made the choice to divorce me after telling him the truth, he would never be able to say i didn't care for him or tried. Nora should not be punished for saving his life.

A Dolls House Themes And Symbols

Written by Henrik Ibsen, A Dolls House, is a wonderful play that has many themes that go along with it. The one that mostly stood out to me was "If you tell the truth, you dont have to remember anything". I feel that this is a perfect theme for this story because one of the main charachters Nora, Torvalds wife told a lump sum of lies. She lied about a lot of things throughout the story, and she has yet to tell the truth. Once you tell a lie, you have to tell many more just to cover the first lie that you told. When you tell the truth you wont have to come up with a cover up.

Following the theme there also was a couple of symbols from the play A Dolls House but there is one that symbols the whole story. The "songbird" this symbol is for the whole story, but basically it was a symbol for Nora the wife of Torvald. She is the songbird because she dresses up and dances for her husband, and barely leaves her home. A song bird sings in its cage and has a provider which in Nora's case Torvald is her provider. Thats why she is described as a songbird.

I Come From

I come from Raleigh, NC Born and raised

I come from school was a not a choice, miss a day if you wanted to that butt was gone be burning

I come from Chavis Heights, home of the biggest drug dealers and baddest kids

Living there i seen my mother cry for the first time

I was a little girl then i didn't know why

Looking out the window and not once have i not seen a fight

Never seen as many black people in one place so you know people didn't get along

Walking the streets at night is something you couldn't do

Never know who was out to get you

It was a place you had to watch your back

I come from neighbors setting people houses on fire, gossiping about who did this and that

I come from falling asleep to yelling, loud music and screams at night but it wasn't all bad in the hood

I come from block parties, where everybody in the neighborhood came together

Lima beans, corn bread, steak, chicken, corn, chicklins, collard greens, pork chops, macaroni and cheese

Though the food wasn't all you seen and heard,

Happiness, Family, Dancing, Kids Playing, Gamboling, Music, laughter

We all came together as one

I come from a strong but judging family, all them excuses yeah they not trying to hear them

You did what you did cause you wanted to do it

I come from them old school ass whippings, you got beat with anything that was in their reach

I come from "time to get up, the church van gone be here in 1 hour"  grandmas words never changed

You miss church you clean the house

You really think i didn't get off that couch?

She didn't care if you liked it or not, when one roll out we all roll out

I come fromFamily comes first before anything and anybody

 "water flow from the bowl faster then blood"

Funny  how now i truly understand what she meant by that

Friends gone leave you before your family leaves you

I come from middle fingers up to school I'm trying to party

Every weekend, 1 year straight i didn't miss not one

I come from Hanging out in the streets, to staying in the house and going to school 

Thought i was cute smoking and drinking, fighting and skipping school That ended early

I come from "She not ready to go back to school, all she gone do is mess up again"

They right i wasn't, but i am

I'm determined I'm gone make no matter who against my dreams

I come from listening to nothing but gospel

Now in my ears i play Waka, Cheif Keif, Rhianna, J. Cole etc.

The good girl said goodbye a long time ago

But the bad girl no longer exists

I grew up and didnt let where i "came from" be the judge of who i am today

So where i CAME FROM , gone stay in the past,

Where I AM NOW is all that matters.
