Analyze ONE of the following quotes and identify a theme illustrated in the quote. Then, write a topic sentence that identifies the theme.  Follow the topic sentence with  one well-developed paragraph explaining the significance of the quote to the theme provided in your topic sentence.  Stay on topic–focus only on the quote provided and the theme you identified. Remember, theme is not the same as moral. I’m not looking for a lesson or moral maxim here. You are expected to provide a specific example(s) in your paragraph, but not quotes.      Excerpt 1 from A Doll House: HELMER: Nora! [Goes up to her and takes her playfully by the ear.] The same little featherhead! Suppose, now, that I borrowed fifty pounds today, and you spent it all in the Christmas week, and then on New Year’s Eve a slate fell on my head and killed me, and– NORA: [putting her hands over his mouth]. Oh! don’t say such horrid things. HELMER:. Still, suppose that happened,–what then? NORA: If that were to happen, I don’t suppose I should care whether I owed money or not. HELMER: Yes, but what about the people who had lent it? NORA: They? Who would bother about them? I should not know who they were. HELMER: That is like a woman! But seriously, Nora, you know what I think about that. No debt, no borrowing. There can be no freedom or beauty about a home life that depends on borrowing and debt. We two have kept bravely on the straight road so far, and we will go on the same way for the short time longer that there need be any struggle. NORA: [moving towards the stove]. As you please, Torvald.   Excerpt 2 from A Doll House: HELMER: Oh, you think and talk like a silly child!  NORA: Perhaps. But you neither think nor talk like the man I could join myself to. When your big fright was over–and it wasn’t from any threat against me, only for what might damage you–when all the danger was past, for you it was just as if nothing had happened. I was exactly the same, your little lark, your doll, that you’d have to handle with double care now that I’d turned out so brittle and frail. [Gets up.] Torvald–in that instant it dawned on me that for eight years I’ve been living here with a stranger, and that I’d even conceived three children–oh, I can’t stand the though of it! I could tear myself to bits!  HELMER: [Heavily.] I see. There’s a gulf that’s opened between us–that’s clear. Oh, but Nora, can’t we bridge it somehow? NORA: The way I am now, I’m no wife for you.  HELMER: I have the strength to make myself over.  NORA: Maybe–if your doll gets taken away.
