This research paper: This is a 7 page paper discussing symbols and symbolism in relation to the themes found in Henrik Ibsen’s play “A Doll’s House” and Jean Anouilh’s play “Antigone”. Both Ibsen in “A Doll’s House” and Anouilh in “Antigone” use symbolism to express themes throughout their plays. The central characters of Nora and Antigone are both seen as childish in their use of childhood items such as Nora playing hide and seek and Antigone using a small shovel and child’s clothing. Their symbolism is much deeper however as both characters also symbolize the societies at the time the plays were written. Nora’s character is constantly being referred to using animal imagery and her hiding of objects from her husband depicts the theme of her inequality in her household and the inequality of women in the 1800s. Antigone’s character symbolizes the French resistance and the sacrifice she had to make to remain true to her ideals against the oppressive king, or in France’s case, the occupying Germans. Bibliography lists 7 sources.
