Reading Comprehension and Analysis of A Doll's House

A Doll's House is a masterpiece concerned with women's issues, based on a true female story. After its publication, the play aroused great social repercussions and was staged in Copenhagen two weeks later. On the world stage, the performance of "A Doll's House" is enduring and widely praised. The following is my reading comprehension and analysis of a doll's house. I hope it helps you.

Hint: A Doll's House describes the contradiction between Nora and her husband Haier Mao. Nora's husband loves Nora as a pet, but ruthlessly deprives her of her independent personality. In a series of conflicts, he finally exposed his selfish and hypocritical side, which made Nora feel shocked and desperate. She left home angrily.

Nora, in my capacity, I cannot marry you.

Helmer, I have the courage to start over.

Nora, after your clay doll left you ― maybe.

Helmut wants me to break up with you? No, Nora, don't. This is unthinkable.

Nora, if you can't imagine, we should split up. Go into the room on the right, get your coat, hat and travel.

The small bag came out again and put it on the chair next to the table. )

Helmonara, Nora, don't go now. Leave tomorrow.

Nora (wearing a coat) I can't spend the night at a stranger's house.

Helmer, can't we live like brothers and sisters?

Nora (wearing a hat) You know life won't last long. (wearing a shawl) Goodbye, Torvald. I'm not going to see the children.

……

Helmut, Nora, one day-

Nora, it's hard to say. I wonder what will happen in the future.

Helmer, after all, you are still my wife.

Latova, let me tell you something. I heard that if a woman goes out of her husband's house like me, she will be exempted from all her obligations according to the law. Whether the law is like this or not, I now release you from all your obligations to me. You are not bound by me, and I am not bound by you. Both sides have absolute freedom. Here you are. Here's your ring. Give me mine, too.

Haier Mao even wants to return the ring?

Nora wants it back.

Helmer, take it.

Nora, hi. It's over now. I put all the keys here. ……

Haier wool is finished! It's over! Nora, you will never miss me, will you?

Nora: I will always think of you, the children and this family.

Helmer, can I write to you?

Nora: No, don't write.

Helmer, but I have to send you some-

Nora doesn't have to send anything.

Helmo, I have to help you when your money is inconvenient.

Nora: No, I don't accept help from strangers.

Helmonara, will I always be just a stranger?

Nora (picks up her handbag) Torvald, then we can only wait for the miracle to happen.

What is a miracle among miracles?

Nora: That means we have to switch to Torvald. I don't believe in miracles now.

Helmer, but I believe him. You go on! What do we need to change?

Nora has changed to the point where we really live together as husband and wife. Goodbye. (She walks out of the hall. )

Haier Mao (falls on a chair by the door and covers his face with his hand. ) Nora! Nora. (Looking around, standing up) The room is empty. She left. (A new hope flashed in my heart) Ah! Miracle among miracles! ―

There was a loud bang downstairs and the door closed.

Reading problems in doll's house:

1. Who is your clay doll in the play? Who is a "stranger"? Why does the speaker call it that?

2. What does Nora mean by "miracle among miracles"? What is the specific significance of the sentence "I don't believe in miracles in the world now" to Haier Mao?

3. According to the plot, talk about the role of stage instructions such as "wearing a coat", "wearing a hat", "wearing a shawl" and "carrying a handbag".

4. The ending of the doll's house is "bang, the sound of closing the door came from downstairs". To this end, Bernard Shaw's comment is: "The door slams beside me, louder than the cannon of Waterloo." Please talk about your understanding and opinion.

Dollhouse reading answers:

1. "Your clay doll" refers to Nora, and "stranger" refers to Haier hair. Nora called Haier Mao this way because she realized that she had no independent personality, freedom and respect in her husband's eyes, and was just a doll. Because of the lack of communication between Haier Mao and Nora, her husband is like a stranger and a passer-by.

By analyzing the first two questions of this question, it is not difficult to infer the reference from the context. The key is the third question. The reason why it is so called lies in the dramatic conflict of this play, that is, the spiritual contradiction between two people, the confrontation between subordination and struggle, which is the bottleneck of this play.

2. Miracle among miracles: Both people should change themselves, respect each other and treat each other as equals. Nora expressed to him through this sentence that she no longer believed that the marriage with Haier Mao would have a good result; Establishing a real relationship between husband and wife is just an illusion, and now this illusion has been shattered.

The analysis of the first question is still a reference. The basis of the answer is as follows, but it should be abstract and reasonable. The second question shows Nora's profound understanding of this family order and her despair about the present situation and future of marriage. Just give a full disclosure.

3. Explain Nora's behavior, indicating that she has been preparing to leave during the conversation with Haier Mao, indicating that she is determined to leave.

Analyze the stage description and assist the performance of the characters. This series of actions are not simple details of life, but can directly express the psychological world of the characters. Judging from the plot, Nora is ready to leave, which is not unrelated to Nora's sober understanding.

4. Hint: It makes sense enough in terms of plot development and artistic skills. It implies that Nora has taken a brave step in the pursuit of individuality, independence and dignity. Nora's departure marks the beginning of the women's liberation movement, and its significance can be compared with Napoleon's military means to clean up the feudal forces in Europe.

To solve this problem analytically, we must first explain the inner meaning of this drama plot. Secondly, we must compare Bernard Shaw's comments to illustrate the typical significance of this plot, that is, Nora's departure is not her personal behavior, but represents the struggle of women in an era, so it is not difficult to understand its significance, and the comments can be said to focus on the big picture.

The reading answers of Dollhouse are for your reference only. I wish you all a higher level of study, and I hope you will achieve better results in the Chinese exam!

Expanding knowledge: the essence of content

Christmas is coming, Helmut and Nora are immersed in joy. Because at the beginning of the new year, Haier Mao will be a bank manager, and the days when he used to be a lawyer with unstable income will come to an end. At this time, Nora's old friend Mrs. Dānlín visited. During the conversation with Mrs. Dānlín, Nora excitedly told Mrs. Dānlín that Haier Mao was seriously ill shortly after her marriage. In order to let her husband go to Italy to recuperate, she privately borrowed a sum of money from Krogstad, a bank clerk. Because her father was dying, she forged his signature and signed an iou. Haier Mao's illness was finally cured in Italy. Back home, in order to pay her debts, Nora tried her best to save the family, and even secretly did some copying work at night. But she didn't feel hard. On the contrary, she felt proud because she did something helpful to her husband.

At this moment, Krogstad suddenly visited. What Nora was worried about finally happened. It turns out that krogh Stein is an employee of the bank where Haier Mao is going to be the manager. The bank is undergoing personnel adjustment, and krogh Stein is likely to be fired. He threatened Nora with an iou, trying to save his position in the bank, or he would tell Haier Mao about Nora's criminal behavior. Nora was very angry, but she had to beg her husband not to fire him. But the husband ignored it, and instead issued a general order to dismiss Krogstad. Frustrated, krogh Stein immediately wrote a letter to Haier Mao, revealing the truth. Nora turned to Mrs. Danlin for help in despair, and Mrs. Dānlín went to krogh Stan for this matter. As a result, the two lovers rekindled their old love, and krogh Stein, who was full of joy, decided to get back the letter that leaked the secret, but Mrs. Dānlín advised him not to worry.

Haier Mao went downstairs to get the letter as usual, and Nora used her quick wits to pester him with a fancy dress ball. When Nora came back at midnight, she tried to explain that it was too late, but Helmut took the letter back. Haier Mao flew into a rage after reading the letter and gave Nora a severe insult. Just then, the doorbell rang, and someone sent a letter, a letter from krogh Stein, and the iou was returned. Haier Group

When Mao saw that his reputation was saved, he immediately changed his face and became gentle with Nora. Seeing this scene, Nora was deeply moved. She saw her miserable situation being pushed around like a doll and finally realized that she should be an independent person. After a fierce ideological struggle, she decided to leave the "doll house".
