Nora Helmer And Women In American Literature
1,993 words

century society. The treatment of these women was
also extremely negative; they were expected to
stay home and fulfill domestic duties. Literature
of this time embodies and mirrors social issues of
women in society. Henrik Ibsen uses Nora Helmer in
A Doll House to portray the negative treatment of
all women throughout society during the nineteenth
century. Many women characters throughout American
literature reflect the same conflicts and
attitudes of ...

Lives Of Women Chopin

symbolism and realism to enhance her theme of
social conflict in the lives of women during the
nineteenth century. These conflicts seemed to

as a basis for all of her short stories and
novels. This inevitably started turmoil about
issues that never were brought out before. This,
in turn, opened the eyes of society to the
individuality of women. In The A...
