Authors often create intrigue by showing characters struggling or even failing to solve problems. This is also the case in the play “A Doll’s House” by Henrik Ibsen and the novel “Woman at Point Zero” by Nawal el Saadawi. “A Doll’s House” was written in Norway in 1879 and tells the story of Nora and Torvald as they struggle with the societal expectations of 19th century Norway, their marriage and money issues. “Woman at Point Zero” plays in 20th century Egypt and describes the life of Firdaus as she is in prison and awaiting death after she has killed a man. Although the novels are set in very different time periods and locations, they both describe societies in which women are oppressed and have a rather feminist message. Using symbolism and motifs, both authors show men and women struggling to resolve problems in these patriarchal societies, to thus highlight the negative effects of a patriarchy. 

literary works often show women and men struggling to resolve problems and not succeeding too well. To what degree do you find this to be true in two of the works you studied. 

Many authors show men and women in their novels who try to overcome struggles in their life, as many people are able to relate to this. Woman at Point Zero and A Doll’s House both explore how a patriarchal society causes characters to not succeed very well in life. The novel Woman at Point Zero is written by Nawal El Saadawi and was published in 1975 in Egypt. In her novel a prisoner named Firdaus tells her life story to Saadawi, that focuses on the place of women in a patriarchal society. A Doll’s House is a play by Henrik Ibsen that was first performed in 1879 and takes place in Norway. The play is centered around Nora, who suffers from the expectations of married women which were set by a patriarchal society. Both authors show men and women struggling to resolve problems and not succeeding very well to a certain extent, in order to comment on a patriarchal society through the use of symbolism, characterisation and cultural context.

Literary works often depict the inability of men and women to fit in society due to norms and values of that society. The Great Gatsby, written by F. Scott Fitzgerald in 1925, tells the story of Gatsby who by use of conspicuous consumption tries to climb up the American social ladder and ultimately fails in doing so. The other work, Woman at Point Zero, written by Nawal El Saadawi in 1975, shows the oppression of women in Egyptian society through the eyes of the main protagonist Firdaus, who attempts to obtain power and respect in a society that does not tolerate these progressive ideas of women. In both The Great Gatsby as in Woman at Point Zero the reader gets presented with the idea that the goal of climbing up the social hierarchy is unobtainable, due to inequality and sexism, and that one will inevitably fail in attempting to do so. The authors of these works successfully employ symbolism, motifs and character development to illustrate this problem.
