In "A Dolls House, " Henrik Isben reveals the devastating affect society has on relationships. Through the disintegration of Nora and Torvald Helmer's marriage, Isben shows how people make poor decisions based on the opinions of the society they lived in.

Women Black People
546 wordsTHE OPPRESSED GENDER It has been said that women are a universally oppressed gender. Unfortunately, I feel that this statement is totally true.
