This week we began learning about modern theater! One major play we focused on was A Doll’s House by Henrik Ibsen. It is a family drama and i enjoyed reading it. I learned a lot about central symbols in plays as well. The symbol in A Doll’s House is a Christmas Tree and it parallel’s to the emotional state of a character in the play; Nora. Parallels are drawn out between the two and as she declines psychologically, the tree declines in appearance. We learn more about dramas next week when we read The Glass Menagerie by Tennessee Williams. As I know now, these plays will relate in many ways.
