Life As Wife; Desdemona In Othello, Nora In A Doll's House: Nora, the female protagonist in The Doll House, shares many of the characteristics of Desdemona, the wife of Othello in the Shakespearean play
[ send me this essay ]
She is also in a marriage defined by the husband's position of authority and she has a strength of character that allows her to go against the wishes of the authority figure in her life. Unlike Desdemona, Nora refuses to go quietly to her ruin. Where Othello takes the life of his wife, the institution of marriage takes Nora's identity. The final piece to the puzzle comes to Nora as the realization that she has no legitimate name of her own, that she is unable to use either her married name or the name of her father to borrow money. She is nameless, symbolically stripped of her identity and in reality denied power over herself. The marriage, rather than Nora, dies. This 5 page paper examines the differences and similarities of the roles portrayed by these two women. Bibliography lists 6 sources.
