A Doll’s House is a play that lends itself to be analyzed from different perspectives. As stated by Deborah Appleman, “All literary theories are lenses through which we can see texts.” So, you may want to review the literary theories you studied in Week 2 to address question 1. In developing your main post, respond to each part of the prompt. Then continue the discussion with classmates and your professor. After having read A Doll’s House, explain which literary theory you think it is more appropriate to discuss either the play as a whole or a specific aspect of it. If you think more than one theory is applicable, feel free discuss them too. Use the guiding questions listed under each theory (from the literary theories resource) to help you identify a pertinent theory.
