Women are generally
loving and self- sacrificing. Validate this statement basing your illustrations
on the play ‘A Doll’s House’ by Henrik Ibsen
In today’s society, a person who claims to love you or
really concerned about you would go to any level to show how much they care.
Nora and Mrs. Linde clearly bring out this in the plays, A Doll’s House.
Nora, proves her true love and concern when she risks by
forging her father’s signature in order to acquire money for the sake of her
husband’s health. She goes against societal expectations and provides financial
support to Helmer when he fell ill and takes him to Italy to recover. This
clearly portrays her love towards her husband.
Nora sacrifices her comfort, a good and comfortable life and
good clothes too in order to look for money and save as much as she can to pay
the loan. She does odd jobs like embroidery and crocheting; she also saves some
money given by Torvald and buys herself cheap and simple clothes with an aim of
saving for the payment of the loan. Torvald also reminds her how she shut
herself up for three weeks during the last Christmas Holiday making ornaments.
This clearly portrays her love and sacrifice for her family.
Mrs. Linde also sacrifices her happiness when she abandons
Krogstad whom she really loved for a richer man. She did this in order to get
money to take care of her sick mother and younger siblings. Later on the old
man dies leaving her Childless, poor and lonely. This is real sacrifice for the
sake of love.
Christine Linde also sacrifices her honour and pride when
she approaches Krogstad and apologies to him for her actions. She explains her
reason for leaving him and asks him if they can come together as she feels
empty and has no one to mourn for and no one to care for. Krogstad accept their
proposal. This clearly brings Linde as a selfless person who is able to
sacrifice for the sake of love and concern.
Ann sacrifices her comfort in order to take of Nora and
later Nora’s Children. Anne leaves her own daughter behind and moves in with
Nora’s family to become Nora’s nurse. Nora had no mother and Ann fitted in the
gap with lots of love. Even Nora wonders how Ann had the heart to give up
raising her own child in order to work but it is clear that Anne had to make
this sacrifice in order to fend for her own family. She gladly takes care of
Nora’s children and contends herself with letters from her daughter on
important occasions such as her wedding.
In conclusion, it is clear that a person who loves and is
concerned about another becomes selfless and goes to any extent to prove this
as brought out in the essay.
