Literature Seen From The Work: Doll Houses

Literature seen from the work: Doll houses

Introduction.

A new literary influence begins, overcoming the fantasy and transcendence of romanticism, the known as realism begins, which is characterized by containing elements such as determinism and positivism, focused on the description of everyday life and routine, worried about exposingThe features of society. In such a way that the author becomes a spectator of the social, economic and political context, thus achieving a panoramic view with which to work to set the work that is writing. Thus considering the participation of women within a medium where man maintains a leading role, allowing mentioned works to have an environment related to the relevance of women’s role in a society directed by the men.

Developing.

The work "House of Doll" is presented, written in 1879, by Henrik Ibsen, this is known for having naturalistic influences, taking into account that it cares about exposing reality very objectively, a situation that is reflected in thework due to the existing treatment between characters, reflecting the inferiority by the male characters directed for example towards the protagonist. On the other hand, it is also characterized by being a history of symbolism;This leads to the relationship between the title and the work, because the name itself constitutes a symbol, taking into account that at the end of the story the protagonist refers to the fact that her lifestyle was similar to that of a doll, dependent onHer father and after her husband, expressed as follows:

In this sense, the author is inspired by the historical context in which he lived, as a feature of realism, this is how from 1845 strong revolutions begin throughout Europe, which would lead to important social, political and economic changes, political and economic,as was the case of Norway, Henrik Ibsen’s home country. Therefore, the same before the population’s refusal to continue with a monarchy, they decide to separate from the neighboring territory, Denmark, a fact that allowed the restructuring of social classes, giving rise to the leading participation of women before a hierarchical and tyrannized societyFor man;It sought as main objective the equality between the two genres, an influence known as feminism, where Henrik Ibsen is present in favor of these new trends affirming the following:

That is why Ibsen creates in her recognized "dollhouse" Cristina de Linde, as an antithesis of the stereotype of women who schematized in Europe in 1800, presenting her as an independent and autonomous woman capable of taking responsibility for her dutiesAs a woman and family leader, in such a way to represent the objective of mentioned movements.

Taking into account the above, it can be said that Ibsen presents in the work two women who have an opposite lifestyle;Nora depends on her husband economically and the latter was known as the classic father of the family, on the other hand, Cristina, friend of Nora, who welcomed, who forced her to assume responsibilities including to keep her brothers and her brothers and herchaplain. 

Also, unconsciously during a conversation Nora observes and compares her role in society and reality with respect to her great friend, and she realized that for her it was of great importance to maintain such a situation, otherwise she would represent a conflict with Helmer(Her husband), while, for Cristina de Linde, such a situation would be part of her day to day and would not be an inconvenience.

Thus, the author manages to develop the independence of women, through the evolution of the main character (Nora), dependent on the initiative he observes in her friend Cristina de Linde, sticking to the epistemological concept of the feminist movement, circumstance with thethat the author agreed considering the following: our society is masculine and until the woman enters it, it will not be human.

Mentioned this, it is observed how the author expresses part of his life and is reflected in the deep analysis of the work, since Ibsen with only twenty years moved to Christian (Norway) in order to continue his studies, until 1983When he accepted the position of director and playwright in a new theater in Bergen (Norway), however, four years later he returned to Cristiana to direct another theater, this is how all this experience led him to consider a retreat to Italy and Germany, and that is where he manages to find his purpose in life and makes the decision to devote himself to being a writer;In relation to the work, it can be established that, like Nora, for the author it was necessary,

The bravery that defines Nora for making the decision to leave her home to "meet herself ‘can be seen from two points of view, theirs can be negative before the fact that she is leaving her children and her style of her style ofLife for something that is only a possibility, while on the other hand, is where the naturalist side of the work is shown and it is convenient for Nora to get her place in life. The latter happens today, when people consider to depart from a relationship the more beneficiaries are together.

Despite this, this decision created a dilemma in the work, referring to the comparison between Cristina de Linde and Nora, taking into account that this last inspiration from the lifestyle of her friend to find that purpose of life, but fitsHighlight that mentioned admiration for Cristina’s independence was interpreted very differently by the protagonist, because while Cristina de Linde her self-sufficient responsibilities meant responsibilities and the economic burden that her relatives represent, for Nora this symbolizes her opportunity to get awayof his commitments as a mother and wife to find his autonomy, guided by the example of her great friend.

conclusion.

In conclusion, the culture and society of Europe, integrate a fundamental role in the explanation of the vast majority of the behaviors that the characters of the work follow, and are responsible for creating a pattern within the historical context, implementing the customto order the men and parents the economic weight of the same as well as to assume the position of the father figure in any other situation, however at the moment where a circumstance escapes this scheme, it is seen as inadequate andIt is criticized, it is not considered "conservative" with respect to the general conditions of a specific area.
