A Character Analysis Of Norah's Little Brother Gavin
Norah and her little brother Gavin were sent to Canada because of World War 2. They were living with the ogilvies the whole time they stayed in Canada.

One of Norah’s characteristics is that she is adventurous. From the book it seems like she loves to explore and see new things. On her first full day there she went on a walk around the neighbourhood and explored the ravine behind the Ogilvies house. She also skipped school one day without anybody knowing just so she could explore Toronto all by herself.

Another one of Norah’s character traits is that she is active. In Ringden she would use her bike a lot. She even rode it to the train station before she left instead of taking the car. When she played with Paige and Bernard, they

    To be successful one must possess an important trait, grit. Firstly, perseverance is needed to overcome the obstacles in life. For example, Arian Foster was not selected in the NFL draft. That did not stop him on his quest to be a star running back. In sum, Arian worked his way never giving up, from the bottom of the league to his dream of becoming a star running back. Secondly, passion is what drives us to keep moving forward. For instance, Arian was always doubted but that did not discourage his drive for success. Thus, he used the doubt as motivation to become who he wanted to be. Thirdly, effort has to be put out to have results. In particular, Arian had limited opportunities to show what skill he has.

    Nora Dramatic Irony

    • 886 Words

    Moreover, a very intriguing ironic parallel can be drawn between Nora and Torvald, when Torvald finds out about Nora’s forgery, he exclaims “Now you’ve wrecked all my happiness—ruined my whole future. Oh, it’s awful to think of. I’m in a cheap little grafter’s hands; he can do anything he wants with me, ask for anything, play with me like a puppet—and I can’t breathe a word. I’ll be swept down miserably into the depths on account of a featherbrained woman” (1292), which is a complete role-reversal of the literal control Torvald has over Nora, because all of those years she was his ‘puppet’. A supplementary illustration of dramatic irony is when Torvald says that he will willingly sacrifice his happiness and dignity if some danger were to threaten…

    There appears to be yet another theme within this story line, and that is how women fit in in society. The entire story is focused around a certain women, who is not happy with her place in society, so therefore she decides to change her role in society. Within the story it is easy to see that women are automatically placed in a certain role in society, simply because of their gender. Women are not given the option, but rather forced to settle for the only role society feels women are capable of. So therefore when Nora decides that she does not want to be a part of this role that society has forced on her, she showed other women that they too could in fact go above and beyond what society expects from them. Which in the 18th century things…

    Nora’s narcissism was on display throughout the play. In one particular scene she is preoccupied with having Torvald make her a costume for a party. The party is far more imperative than the fact that she has done something dishonest and is keeping it from her husband. “Yes, Torvald, I can’t get anywhere without your help.” She could also be using the party to keep Torvald’s from questioning her after Krogstad’s visit. What ever the case, it seems selfish.…

    When it comes to Holden’s struggle of growing up it presents itself, throughout the book, as Holden constantly running away from any implication of growing up. An example of Holden running away from adulthood is in chapter 16, Holden is walking through the museum and he stops to look at the Eskimos, “The best thing, though, in that museum was that everything always stayed right where it was. Nobody'd move.” That sentence is almost ironic in a way because even though he wants everything to stay the same, he’s still running away from adulthood and everything that growing up encompasses. Holden also has the urge to grow up in some situations, but he ends up reverting into secluding himself from society and the idea of growing up. A big reason…

    Most, if not all the action occurs off of Torvald's study. This could mean that Nora is isolated from everybody. An alternate meaning could be that all characters act off of Nora. With Nora being the center of the universe, she controls the moods, who comes and goes, she is the quarterback. All other characters are related to her. Examples of this are: Torvald, Nora's husband. Dr. Rank, Torvald's dear friend, also an admirer of Nora's.…

    In the play, A Doll House, Nora goes through a major character change. The play is set during Christmas time and New Year’s because these are both times of “rebirth” or “reawakening” and similar metaphors to what Nora goes through during the play. Nora is treated and acts like a doll living in a doll house during most of the play. Towards the end of the play, Nora realizes that being a “doll” is not her reality. The reality of her trials with her marriage wake her up from her imagination to the pitiful state of her marriage. Through the transformation of Nora and the symbolism of the doll house, Henrik Ibsen reveals that being sheltered can make one fragile while recognizing and facing reality can make one strong.…
