Nora:The Manipulator (A Doll's House) | ENGLISH LITERATURE

In Henrik Ibsen's A Doll House, decision-making is clouded by the manipulation caused by certain characters. Manipulation is a form of control over another person without either their consent or knowledge.  In act two, Nora tries to manipulate Torvald when he explains to her why Krogstad must be dismissed. Nora thinks of Torvald as being narrow-minded.  "Nora: ... it is such as  narrow-minded  way of looking at things. Helmer: What are you saying? Narrow-minded? Do you think I am narrow-minded ?   (Ibsen 35)" It was impossible for Nora to stop Torvald from firing Krogstad.

The violence and brutality used in this novel depict the life and times of the people of that particular region.  Marquez's  Chronicle of a Death Foretold  centers on the brutal and public killing of Santiago Nasar by Picario twins (Pablo and Pedro) to avenge the "honor" of their sister Angela, who is returned only six hours after her marriage to Bayardo San Roman.
