paragraphs: Support your position on the question asked by the prompt. For example,
depending on your point of view, you could find examples of Nora’s position as a
“doll wife” in the family and consider how her relationship with her husband suffers
as a result of unequal balance of power in their marriage. Of course, if you disagree
with her decision, (after all, she leaves three children behind), offer examples to
support your point of view.

should be ″The Doll′s House″ by Ibsen. You can use only one outside source. Use a

insert quotations and/or paraphrases into any paragraph of your essay--do not
overquote!
