How the events of a doll's house brings a catalyst for change to Loyola's students.

 In the story by Henrik Ibsen, A Doll's House Act, the play goes through an overview of societal expectations of the sexes and the area of internalizing multiple personalities as individuals to conform to societal expectations in areas such as academics, social life, and the professional sector. 

The zeal for self-discovery is a journey that the majority of individuals want to pursue at some point in their lives as we strive to breach societal norms placed on us due to areas such as religion or Gender. 

The themes of deception/secrecy, Gender roles/identity, and financial security are explored extensively in the play. The theme of financial independence connects a lot with the day-to-day life experiences of the average Loyola student. In the era where Nora had to conform to the traditional societal expectations of women and femininity, she realized that she was unable to be financially independent because she was under the leadership of her husband. Nora's financial dependence on her husband resonates with the challenges and obstacles we face as students in terms of finding financial freedom in situations of rising tuition and debts. Personally, I have been in situations of facing financial issues and this massively impacts any individual's quest to the verge of financial freedom. 

Secondly, the act sought to bring a catalyst to change Gender roles and expectations of Masculinity and Femininity. This is relevant in our modern society with the advent of movements like feminism. Nora's desire for self-discovery and empowerment gives us an urge as Loyola students to create a zeal to end discrimination and a more acceptable society for ourselves where individuals do not see the urge to conform to stereotypes. 

In general, A Doll's House Act resonates with the experiences of Loyola students. Through Nora's zeal for empowerment and liberation. It gives us valid prompts to question societal expectations on Gender and pursue autonomy and authenticity in our daily. It basically teaches us as Loyola students to get on the path of discovering what brings us satisfaction and fulfillment.
