The “but” was a distinct transition in the doll’s disposition and I think it it was the most powerful line in the
Doll’s House by Henrik Ibsen was highly criticized for undeniably demonstrating woman’s issues in the 19th century. While the play doesn’t change setting much at all, Ibsen clearly focuses in on the characterization of three insightful characters: Mrs. Linde, Nora, and Helmer.

Nora, the main character, develops rapidly in the play, and her character is a stark contrast to Mrs. Linde.

People are often blindsided by what they are capable of doing because they lose control as they fight to hold on to the sense of love. The Dolls Alphabet written by Camilla Grudova unfolds the extant people will go in order to maintain love in their lives. In efforts to protect the love one feels towards others or themselves, it can result in inflicting pain to oneself, and pain to another and going against social norms affecting a multitude of people. I argue through Parker's Structuralism ideas that love is a major emotion that causes people to do irrational things that can ultimately have a large impact on others or themselves.

Six chapters treat the holdings of East Asian porcelain, whereas the other four are inventories of the collection of “Weiß sächsisch Porcelain” (chapter seven, white Saxon porcelain), “Braun sächsisch Porcelain (chapter eight, brown Saxon porcelains or stonewares), “Terra Sigillata” (stonewares, today known as Yixing wares) and “Schwartz indianisch und sächsisch schwartz laquirtes Porcelain” (chapter ten, black Indian and Saxon black lacquered porcelain, ….). Although a certain knowledge about the different countries of origin must have existed among Augustus the Strong and other porcelain connoisseurs in the early 18th century, one cannot speak about a scientifically correct differentiation of the Royal porcelain collection in the historic inventories.

Chapter one, which is an inventory of the group “Japanisch Porcelain” (Japanese porcelain), includes all wares that were decorated in the Imari color palette. Imari - porcelain originally produced around Arita in Japan and named after the port from where it was shipped to Europe – has a distinctive color palette of dark underglaze blue, overglaze red, and bright golden decoration (fig. x).
