- Ready Reference Treatise: The Year of Magical Thinking
13
But, in the recent years it has been noticed that a very large majority of the students, without reading the original texts, rely on the guide books or notes prepared by their teachers or others. This is definitely not a healthy habit because students do pass their exams with the help of such notes; they miss so many things which haunt them in their later lives. I would strongly advise all the students to read the original text once again even if you have already read it, after reading this short treatise. You will see that the same story, after reading this treatise, will begin to give many new meanings to you. All the best. Raja Sharma

- Ready Reference Treatise: The Importance of Being Earnest
4
It was first performed on the 14th of February in 1895 at St. James’s Theatre in London. The protagonists in the play hide themselves behind fictitious personae. It is done with a purpose of escaping from burdensome social obligations. This farcical comedy takes the art of comedy to new heights and proves that comedy is not only for the purpose of making people laugh. Triviality is the major theme of the play. The play treats the Victorians ways satirically and it ridicules the institution of marriage.

- Ready Reference Treatise: A Doll’s House
31
The difference between “house” and “home” is one more significant theme which needs to be discussed. Nora and Torvald had a house and they had three children. In that house, Nora lived under the dictates of her husband, though he loved her very much and spoke very politely to her. She danced for him, she sang for him, and she performed tricks for him, but Torvald never tried to understand her as a human being. She was a kind of puppet performing tricks. The concept of home is different. Home is raised on the foundation of understanding, sharing, and mutual truthfulness. Nora was afraid to disclose the truth because she did not want to humiliate her husband and Torvald was not ready to compromise with his principle. Through this we can say that the title “A Doll’s House” gives a perfect hint why Ibsen did not give it the title “A Doll’s Home”.
