Nora to suggest to the readers that things
may not work out between her and Torvald as
she gradually becomes aware of the awful
way he treats her during their conversation.

the perspective of how women are devalued,
oppressed, and made to appear incapable in
patriarchal societies. Men's flaws are
frequently attributed to women's stupidity,

13) In conclusion, despite being set in


different eras—A Doll's House is set in the
Victorian era, while the speech is set in more
contemporary times—both texts concur on
the universal problem of a patriarchal society.
We can see how each author utilizes different
authorial choices and persuasive techniques
to make their point to the reader, and when it
comes to the overall problem of how
patriarchal societies affect women, we can
see that the problem has existed for a very
long time and continues to be a source of
worry today, and I hope something can be
done about it. Thank you.
