Focus of study for "A Doll's House" (feminist)

-relationship between nora and helmer: the relationship between Nora and Helmer seems adulate because they are very cutsie and romantic with eachother. you can especially see their care for eachother when it is revealed that Nora took a loan and forged a signiture in order to pay for an orperation for Helmer. however, there is also a sense of rebellion on Noras part as well. examples are seen when she lies about the macarrons. it is clear that Helmer talks down on her slightly and treats her as a little girl even doll like.
-Nora as wife and mother: Nora so fa as a mother seems caring but as though she does not want to do all the work that is required with children. it seems like she has the maid take care of them alot of the time and everyonce in a while she'll coo for them and play a game or two. as a wife she seems like she truly loves her husband but at the same time she appears to want him for his money
-Nora and Dr. Rank:
-nora and Krogstad: nora and krogstad dont seem to have any type of positive relationship it pretty much seems as though they use eacher. Nora used Krogstad for the loan and now Krogstad is trying to use Nora to keep his job via blackmail
-Nora and Christine:

- Krogstad comes and talks to Nora b.c. he is concerned about christine working there and wants to keep his job
- krog, talks down on nora;;made a mistake and not brough to trial

hamlet vocab soliliguoy thingy :)

hamlet soliloquy act 2 scene 2:
- i think in this soliloquy hamlet is resoulte because throughout the soliloquy he gains determination from the actors to come up with a plan in order to avenge his dead father.
- pensive: i dont really know how to prove this one to not be true in this case because it really is. hamlet is deep in thought throughout the soliloquy just as much as he is determined. he tries to think of how to avenge his father and how the actor creates the feelings from nothing, however i felt he was determined more
- melancholy: hamlet at this point in the play is melancholy because he isnt really sad about anything he expresses a little bit of sadness when he mentions if the actors had gone through what he has they would have true feelings butt other then this all other emotions conquer that slight amount of melancholy
- incredulous: he isnt incredulous because there is nothing he is skeptical about. at this point hamlet is showing and sense of being skeptical

sight in oedipus rex

Tragic Irony is when the audience knows of a characters situation while the character is still unaware of what going on and the characters words carry a significance they are not aware of. the concept of "sight" helps to enhance the tragic irony in Oedipus Rex by Oedipus is often blind to what is going on around him although the audience/reader can see perfectly what is happening. Oedipus is blind to the fact that he vowed to avenge for Liaus' murder although he himself is the murderer. Oedipus also makes himself physically blind as he gauges out his own eyes so that he will not have to see his siblings/children. you also see the concept of sight with Theresias. Although he is physically blind he can see more then anyone with his prohpetic visions. however, Oedipus chooses to ignore them. all these examples of sight in the story show how the reader or audience often knows what is going on however, the character is in the dark.

article response

The authors point is that Gatsby is a man of our times. He proves this by using various ways of evidence to support this, including the use of outside sources. For example, he mentions that Gatsby was chosen as number one on a list of the top 100 fictional characters. He also compared Gatsby to people of today’s day and age, showing us how he is like us. For example, he tries to achieve this perfect lifestyle, he stole his wealth, is fighting to get a girl back, etc. all things that most people of this day and age do (minus the stealing, but people do that too). What is so compelling is the fact that as you continue to read the article and the more you really look into it, you can start to see how Gatsby truly is a man of this era. Yes, I do agree with the author’s opinion, because as mentioned by the author Gatsby has all of our issues. He is constantly trying to improve himself, he is fighting for wealth and to get Daisy back. Gatsby has a lot of the same issues and struggles as people from our time do. He not only shares struggles with people from our time but also similar aspirations and dreams, which I agree makes him a man of our time.

i dont know if you talked about this or gave us a background about it in class on tuesday, but i wasnt there, so i did it anyway just in case, so this could very well be the worst thing you ever read haha
