The Great Gatsby is a novel written by F. Scott Fitzgerald. It is said to be one of the greatest American novels of the last century‚ not only for it’s tale of hope and disillusion‚ but also for the way it portrayed the spirit of the 1920s.

“A Doll’s House” by Henrik Ibsen is a play based in Norway in the 1870’s. To some extent‚ time matters to this work because it brings up the issues of roles of women in the 1870’s.

Reflective Statement – A Doll’s House In the play‚ “A Doll’s House” written by Henrik Ibsen‚ there is a strong statement of existentialism throughout. Interestingly enough‚ it seems that each of the three acts in the play correspond to a stage within the concept of existentialism‚ in the order of which they occur.
