• Explore how individuals come to understand themselves and their place in the world by analyzing one character from Henrik Ibsen’s A Doll House. • More specifically, explore the various pressures, influences, and/or stereotypes that shape or attempt to shape a character’s life, perspective, and actions, and also consider if and how the character responds to these factors. • In developing your analysis, you must refer to A Doll’s House and outside sources; you must use direct quotations from these sources and from Ibsen’s play. • Although this assignment asks you to do outside reading, your main task remains the same: to produce an argument of your own drawing upon a literary text. The outside sources are meant to help you develop and deepen your own interpretation of “A Doll’s House,” not to substitute for it.
