I chose the movie Mannequin for this discussion topic because viewing the movie from a diverse point of view allowed me to keen in on things that I never paid attention to.

One night Jonathan and Hollywood constructed an elaborate window display starring Jonathan’s trophy mannequin. When Jonathan removed the cursed necklace from the mannequin's neck, she came alive and was referred to as Emmy from there on out.

The mark of a mature person is the ability to make rational decisions for oneself. Complicated choices are what make maturity so hard. Sometimes, even good intentions can lead to a bad decision. In Henrik Ibsen's A Doll House, decision-making is clouded by the manipulation caused by certain characters. Blackmail, trickery, and tyranny, each a form of manipulation are all used to make seemingly positive decisions by the characters. These decisions lead to complicated situations for these characters where nothing is gained. Manipulation is a form of control over another person without either their consent or knowledge. Examining Torvald, Krogstad, and Nora, one can see that manipulation of others leads to irrational decisions for them.

The literary work, A Doll’s House, was written by Henrik Ibsen and has been a historical work of literature since the late 1800’s. There are many themes through out the story that impose the different ideals of the 1870’s. Many of the characters reflect the time period through the positions they hold, the activities they do, as well as how they behave and act. Torvald Helmer and his wife Nora traditionally represent the upper-middle class in the way they present themselves, what types of activities they engage in, as well as what they do as an everyday task.
Venus figurines are found across the globe, in varying cultures, and throughout various time periods. These figurines have a great variety across the cultures they are present in including what materials they are made out of, their relative size, and the intricacy involved in the creation of the figurine. Despite these differences there are some major similarities: all Venus figurines are unclothed depictions of women with exaggerated features. There are many theories as to the meaning and reason behind the Venus figurines and whether they had a singular meaning and reason behind them or if these figurines had various purposes across the cultures.
