Laws In The Alchemist

Law of Happiness? Laws are necessary for happiness because they keep everyone neutral so nobody would have the fear of chasing their dream, lessens chaos so everyone would have limits for their actions and include benefits because there would be a good reason to follow the law. Laws are necessary for happiness because people would have limits to their actions and nobody would be treated unfairly. Laws are necessary for happiness because then everyone will be able to chase their dream without fear. In The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho, there is no fear of harm, or injustice because there are laws that limit actions such as criminal law. “It’s the possibility of having a dream come true that makes life interesting.”(Coelho 10) Coming from this line, Coelho shows that life is interesting because people don’t have to be scared of losing their dream. Most likely because of criminal laws, people don’t live in as much fear of death, thievery, and the act of scamming because those actions are forbidden.

In A Doll’s House by Henrik Ibsen, Laws that give the ability to declare independence off of a family are necessary because being restrained by blackmail is against the law. “NORA. I must stand quite alone, if i am to understand myself and everything about me. It is for that reason that I cannot remain with you any longer.”(Ibsen 153) “NORA. You are not to feel yourself bound in the slightest way, any more than I shall. There must be perfect freedom on both sides. See, here is your ring back. Give me mine.”(Ibsen 161). In these lines, the character Nora is talking about her independence and how equal people should be especially when it comes to marriage
