A Lesson Before Dying And A Doll's House Essay

Doing the right thing is the best way out a situation. In these two texts “A Lesson Before Dying” and “A Doll’s House” by Henrik Ibsen, the story was based on making the right move which Grant and Jefferson found out the right thing and did it the novel “A Lesson Before Dying” and Nora did the right thing by leaving her husband Torvald in the play “A Doll’s House” by Henrik Ibsen. In the film “Far From Heaven” by Todd Hayness’s the women did the right thing by leaving the restaurant and talking to the man in private, this is when the women says, “Can we leave from here” (Hayness). In this quotation it shows that the woman was wise to leave the place before the people started to accuse the man due to his skin colour. Knowing the right thing to do and doing the right thing are two very different things.

To begin with, in the novel “A Lesson Before Dying” Jefferson went through a lot of tough times during his life, his godmother always cared and loved him but he never realized that until Grant explained him. Jefferson’s Godmother asked Grant to turn Jefferson into a mature man and make him realize that there are many people out there who care and admire him. Grant made the right choice, before it was too late by listening to Jefferson’s Godmother. Due to that, because of Grant, Jefferson started to develop his
maturity. Moreover, Jefferson also did the right thing by listening to Grant and started to understand that there were many people whom loved him, people such has his Godmother, Grant, Aunte Lou, and Grant’s students. It was not only Grant but as well as Jefferson who did the right thing before it was too late. Furthermore, in the play “A Doll’s House” by Henrik Ibsen, Nora had lived terrible life.
Her life was ruled and controlled by her husband Torvald. Her husband especially did not respect or treat Nora with equality. Nora spent eight years of her life with Torvald, and that is where she had made a huge mistake. Nora found out her husband’s true colours when it was too late, if she had found out who her husband really was and how the love he was showing to Nora was nothing but false she could have left her husband before the eight years and lived her life with freedom. Nora can find someone that actually treats her with respects, equality, and with
love.
Nora did the right thing by leaving her husband Torvald because now she could live her life on her own; she does not have anybody who can control her life.
