RESEMBLANCE STUDY OF NORA FROM A DOLL'S HOUSE AND VASUDHA FROM SEVEN STEPS IN THE SKY

Abstract

This paper describes the similarities and dissimilarities of two major female characters - Nora and Vasudha. Nora is the protagonist of Ibsen’s play, ‘A Doll's House’ and Vasudha is the protagonist of a gujarati novel, ‘Saat pagla aakash ma’ (Seven Steps in the Sky). Both of the female characters were struggling to find their own identity in the beginning but they find themselves and become independent. Both of the female characters justify their own arguments and circumstances to the readers for leaving their husband's house. Few people support them and few protest against it. Both the writers were also acknowledged and accused by people at the same time. Both of the works portray male dominated society and where women have to suffer and have no socio- economic freedom. In both of the works writers seem to be optimistic because they believe that there will be betterment and equality among all the people in society.
