Drama Essay
I decided to write about the theme of captivity vs. escape presented in The Glass Menagerie and A Doll’s House. The plays are very relatable to anyone because they are modern plays. Both, have the theme of family problems, which I think, every family has. Since both plays contain the theme of captivity vs. escape, it should be fairly easy to write a three page essay over it. There are many other things to write the essay about, but I think that captivity vs. escape will be good for me since I’m not a very good writer. I have to admit, I really like both plays a lot. They are very easy to understand, unlike Shakespeare. Also, like I mentioned before, they are relatable to anyone since everyone has had family problems. Out of both plays, I like The Glass Menagerie the most probably because it was the first one I read and it was the one I “went over” the most. A doll’s House is also good, but her problems are different from teenager problems, so it was harder for me to relate to Nora’s character.
Well that sound like a very good start. I hope you get your thoughts together and your paper turn out as good as it sounds.

I wanted to do the captivity vs escape but with Othello and A Doll’s House. I hope your paper turned out great

Yeah I like both “The Glass Menagerie” and “A Doll’s House” better than Othello and yes you are right you can really relate to certain things in “The Glass Menagerie”. I thought bought plays were easy
Good luck with your paper.
