Number of Pages 4

In four pages this paper examines whether or not the character of Nora in Ibsen’s play fits the criteria of female characters as ‘beacons’ in male works Sophocles’ Antigone and William Shakespeare’s Othello as described in the third chapter of her collection of essays, A Room of One’s Own. Two sources are cited in the bibliography.
