Martin Luther King Jr. once said that, “Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that.” In the short story, “A Doll’s House,” this has never been truer. A big symbol in the short story is the candle which reflects the light symbolizing truth. But in the stage directions the outdoors are completely dark just the candle lets Nora go about her daily chores.
Many times today people try to ‘fight fire with fire’ desperately trying to pound something into another’s head, school being a perfect example. Nora simply attempts to ignore the bleeding issue at hand, her debt. If she tells her husband, she may be divorced, or maybe just maybe by trying walk on a different path she may save her marriage and her sanity.
