The Doll House explores early feminist ideas such as women forced to marry men they do not love and live lives they do not have
The Wild Duck speaks of 2 families swept up in delusion and deceit as they find themselves unraveling the ugly truth of their pathetic lives
Hedda Gabler a beautiful woman only married because no one else did. She’s married to a pathetic man child and is found near other equally unsavory Charecters, she feels she has no autonomy so she begins to manipulate them in her attempt to hold on to more power as she feels she has so little.
The Master Builder is about an older man trying to relive his youth and feel as if he can finally take his life by its reins, discusses their sad past and what occurred then and how they view it now
All and all they were interesting stories with fairly good enough writing.
