monday's post.

thesis paper.

possible thesis:i want to base it around something about how what nora did verses what krogstad did.nora would habbe been in more trouble,and while it was not acceptable it was more understandable when krogstad forged a signature.i'm just not sure how exactly to word this correctly.

so,my thoughts are that because of society at this time or the world presented to us by isben,men are seemed to be higher up on the "importance scale" than women. so if a man commited a crime,its still a problem, its still a crime but it's almost more acceptable than if it was a woman commiting the crime;case an point krogstad.

while he commited a crime,he still lived his life in society,still held a job,it might have taken him some time to do so,but it was still done.

when nora commited the same crime,her downfall would have been much harder.living without a husband,trying to find work,a record of poisioning her children,being forced away from them,along witht the fact that she would have been arreseted,and most likely thrown in jail.

but their motives were the same!both wanted to save someone,to protect someone in their family,but a crime was still commited,so why does krogstad get to stand in society and nora hides her head?

because he's a man????i do not find this fair.

QUESTIONS TO ANSWER OR POSSIBLE COUNTER ARGUEMENTS!
what other play rights were around during ibsen's time?or atleast the most prominate?and would they have similair views apon women,because this was the way of the time?

how do you know that these crimes were similiar and that they were done with similair motives?

could the only reason in the differnt punishments in these crimes be that krogstad was a man while nora was a woman?

do you nthink krogstad's possition in society(his job,his family)could have contributed to his protection?would nora have had this same protection from punishment as well?

so i'll look in on these,to help my thesis.
if you see any other arguements against my posisble thesis idea,could you tell me?or if i'm totally wrong in the similairities of these crimes can you tell me as well?

reading-i finished six characters and i want to re-analyse it,because i feel like i didn't get it again.i feel like i'm reading either along the surface,or tooooooooo deep into it.most likely the first.

and doll's house i need to re-read for evidance as well as find other plays around the same time.go reading!

but another question,if we find plays that help our thesis,we can mention them,but what about all the other plays from the same era that don't,what about all of those?because i feel it would be pretty hard to mention all plays from that one era,when do we know when to stop?

as for monologues,i bought my play fat pig,and i hope that my mom e-mailed you.she's aproved the play,and i've been telling her to send you an e-mail,so hopefully she will soon.

i've found a possible monologue,or a partial monologue,i just want to read the whole play bfore i deside for definate.
