December 1‚ 2013 Period 3 A Doll’s House by Henrik Ibsen is my favorite play that we read this semester. A main reason I liked this play was because of the writer himself.

I think the author starts with this short sentence because short sentences are gripping and they captivate the reader’s attention quickly

Immanuel Kant’s moral theory can be best explained by comparing it to a math equation. Kant’s moral system will always hold true no matter what the circumstance just like how two plus two will always equal four. According to Kant‚ our lives should be lived according to maxims that can be willed into universal law (Kant‚ Fundamental Principles of the Metaphysic of Morals‚ p 303).
