A Doll 's House Vs. Three Sisters

A Doll 's House Vs. Three Sisters

When reading A Doll's House and Three Sisters there was a lot of

comparisons that I noticed. The comparisons were not just between

characters, but also the setting and the everyday life situation.

Three Sisters was a very good book, and very interesting. When

comparing A Doll's House and Three Sisters these are the major

comparisons that I found, both Nora and the sisters want to go back to

their home town, Irena lives to get up early and work while Nora had

no choice, Nora learned everything from her father, and the sisters

did not learn hardly anything fro their fathers.

In the play A Doll's House it takes place where the husbands are

basically in charge of the women. They make all the decisions for

them, the way they want it to be done. If women were to speak up to

her husband she would be looked down upon. So you can see that it is

very important that the wife stay in line with what is expected of

her.

In the play Three Sisters, they seem to have options. They can choose

to work or anything else that they want to do. It is not as if they

are free to do as they please, but they have more of a control over

themselves; especially when making decisions.

In both the plays, Nora and all of the sisters want to go back to

their hometown. In A Doll's house, Nora decides that she is going to

go back home in the end. She has about enough of her husband Torvald

and wants to go back home and start her life over. Nora says that she

misses it back home and wants to go back there to get educated. She

feels that Torvald has taken so much away from her and she wants to

gain it back, by going back home. When Nora lived back at home she

lived with and was raised by her father and the maid. She never had a

real mother, so the maid was her mother figure.
