You must cite the text using correct MLA formatting. 2. You must fully analyze all of the quotes you choose to incorporate into your essay. At minimum, you should have three quotes. 3. You should reflect on the language of the play. In other words, do not overlook intriguing word choices, unusual pauses (i.e. what is not said), and striking repetitions. 4. You need both an introduction and a conclusion. 5. You need a combination of analysis and evaluation, making sure not to devolve into plot summary (which is neither analytical nor evaluative). 6. Your essay needs an original and persuasive thesis. TOPICS (Choose One) 1. After reviewing the film version of A Doll's House, analyze the key differences between the film and the written play. Observe, evaluate, and reflect deeply on the directorial and acting choices made. You may want to focus on one aspect of the differences in order to give your essay a persuasive focus. You must bring in a minimum of two outside sources. 2. Respond to August Strindberg's seminal essay "Woman in a Doll's House" (MLM 982-986), making a clear position statement that incorporates both your own and Strindberg's views. You need not analyze every aspect of Strindberg's essay, but use his essay as a springboard to your deeper understanding of the play. For this essay, you should quote both Strindberg's essay and the play. You must bring in a minimum of two outside sources. 3. Respond to Emma Goldman's, Joan Templeton's or Suzanne Rustin's feminist articles on A Doll's House (MLM 986-996). (You can respond to all three if you want to, but you only need to choose one.) How do your views of the play coincide with the viewpoint of this authors? You must bring in a minimum of two outside sources. 4. Write an essay in which you relate A Doll's House to Charlotte Perkins Gilman's story "The Yellow Wallpaper" (MLM 231-244). How can these works of literary fiction inform and reflect each other? Indeed, Perkins Gilman argues in her book Women and Economics that "woman should not be confined to the household and made economically dependent on men" (MLM 231). Her story "The Yellow Wallpaper" shows an outcome of such dependence. Do you think that Ibsen and Perkins Gilman wanted to achieve similar aims in their works? If so, why? If not, why not? You must bring in a minimum of two outside sources. PreviousNext
