Additional options for topics are available below. Locate at least three academically valid sources to support the main points in your essay. This essay must be formatted using MLA Style and contain a Works Cited page. The expected length is approximately five to seven pages.Remember, your analysis also needs to include the following elements:
An introduction with thesis statement; a body of points explored; and a conclusion.
Close reading of passages from the play to support your analysis.
Three secondary sources to further reinforce your points.
Development and organization of analysis within 5-7 pages.
Clear grammar and style.
Adherence to MLA format.
A Works Cited page, not your annotated bibliography.
Topic OptionsOption 1
Compare and contrast the play with significant aspects of Isbens life. What influenced his writing of the play and what social or historical events or trends was he critiquing through the depictions of his play? Review the section on Biographical Criticism (1313-1315) in the Norton for more guidance. Also, refer to compare and contrast strategies that you encountered in 111, particularly a point-by-point one to help structure your analysis.
Option 2
Compare and contrast A Doll’s House to one of the following assigned readings from this semester:
Faulkners A Rose for Emily
Chopin Story of an Hour
Hemingway Hills White Elephants
Glaspells Trifles
Focus your attention towards gender and social roles, and how both works look into exploring and critiquing these notions. Refer to the Gender studies section in the Norton for more guidance (1325-1326), as well as to the compare and contrast sections on strategies that you encountered in 111, particularly a point-by-point one to help structure your analysis.
Option 3
If you have a topic of your own you wish to pursue, please email me for approval detailing what your aim and thesis is, as well as explaining why your topic would be suitable.
Option 4
Toward the end of the Norton is a section titled Critical Approaches detailing various methods toward analysis. These help provide critics (those who analyze literature, like the authors of the secondary sources you will find) a lens from which to explore meaning in a piece of writing, often called a text or work. Review ONE of the following via the Critical Approaches section at the end of the Norton and apply it toward an analysis of A Doll’s House:
Feminist
Marxist
Psychoanalytic; this is also broke down in three areas to focus.
Poststructuralist/Deconstruction
Feminist-Marxist (a combination of the two since many within these camps feel the at women are both a gender and a socio-economic class)
Approaches to Avoid
It is easy to make the following common mistakes so steer clear of these approaches:
Summary of the play and sources, which should only be found in your annotated bibliography that is due in week 7.Compare/contrast analysis that shows how the play is different than the world today.
