"1Comparing and contrasting how law ruins relationships in “doll’s house” and “the crucible”literary workEssay paperDateAuthors’ nameInstitution Affiliation 2In this world, every individual cannot live on their own without having a partner to sharethe love. In this way, relationship plays a significant role in one’s life, and the characters of anindividual are defined. The condition can make one become the happier person in the world orthe most miserable man. To establish a relationship which lasts for a longer period, anappropriate communication between the two partners should exist, and no law should existamong the two individuals. There are various rules in the society that governs each one of us,and it is essential since if adhered to, everything goes well. However breaking these rules leadsto disunity among the two members in a relationship and there will be no love being shared.Moreover, cutting these ties helps to build some relationship if both partners abandon thetraditions. There are two literary works the doll's house" and "The Crucible" that portrays theseacts of laws in our society. However, the literary works have some similarities as well as thedifferences which explain the traditional edict that guides two individual partners in theirmarriage or relationship. In explaining the similarities between the doll’s house and the crucible texts, thetraditions of the society are the main cause of disunity in a relationship. Well, beginning with thedoll’s house we learn some similarities. Doll’s house text reveals that Torvald and Nora are1 happily enjoying their marriage, and they share their affection and care among each other.Contrary to this ties, the relationship between Krogstad, and Mrs. Linde is the basis of wealthrather than love, and they seem to be unhappy in their marriage. Both groups of partners live bythe strict rule of the society where a husband and wife play his or her role. It is expected thatNora respects Torvald and pay attention to the decisions made by his spouse. On the other hand,the husband should be responsible for providing security.1 Faith Bradford., The dolls' house: Washington D.C, Smithsonian foundation Press, 1997, p.15 3Initially, Both Nora and Torvald were practicing their roles as husbands and wife;however, Nora breaks marriage rule by borrowing the money from Mr. Krogstad, a husband toMrs. Lindes. In this case, Nora breaks the law mainly to save the life of his man and to show truelove. In the literary text, the act is not accepted in the society thus placing the rules of marriage2 above love. such action leads to the breakup of the two people who are alreadymarried. Torvald will be in shame since he has not performed his responsibilities as a husbandand as a defender for his wife. Nora, on the other hand, is required to keep the secrets to avoidshame and punishment from the society. Doing such acts protect Nora but on the other hand,harms the husband. Nora is sure that the responsibility which she is playing is because she loveshis man as the husband loves her. Of course, Torvald's response tells that he does not play anyrole at all time but to put his status first. Therefore he will not sacrifice it to protect his wife. Thedisunity in a relationship due to social rules makes love impossible. Whereas Krogstad andMrs. Linde's blissful choice to get married implies that the text does not ultimately share Nora'svision, it is significant to note that their matrimony does not at all obey the norms of the socialorder. Mrs. Linde longs for her purpose that she gets truthfully love from someone she feelsaffection for, while Krogstad sees her not as a beautiful, loving wife but rather as the source ofthe deliverance of his honor. In this case, Nora breaks the law of fulfilling his love affection tohis husband by borrowing the money which may result to end of their relationship.The traditional laws which affect the relationship between the two partners are portrayedwith similar features in the crucible literary texts where the three wives’ to Salem, Francis, andJohn Proctor receives the accusation of becoming witchcraft. It is because they are accused ofcausing the death of seven children and the state of Betty and Abigail who were ill.2 Jane Ray., The Dolls' House Fairy: London, Orchard, 2010, p.32 "
