This study targets testing Nils Krogstad's portrayal in Henrik Ibsen's A Doll's House. Primarily, it attempts to demonstrate that Krogstad is the real anti-hero in Ibsen's work of art by examining the adversarial credits in his portrayal, his inspirational motivations towards villainy, just as his emotional impact on the hero and the plot. After the logical conversation, the study tracked down that the intentions of Krogstad allude to social, passionate, and monetary factors. On account of Krogstad's emotional impact, the study attests his sensational impact is solid on Nora by carrying her near the truth of her existence with Torvald as a doll. Besides, the aftereffects of the study demonstrate Krogstad's cheerful end is certainly not proof that he isn't opposed to the hero, Nora, yet in addition, it is to show an example, defrauded in an unforgiving society. At last, the study demonstrates that Krogstad is the top character to be the play's adversary for his opposing highlights incorporating the contentions with Nora, the solid sensational impact on her, and the emotional impact on the play's occasions.

In this study the author be analysing the plays, a tragedy, Desire Under the Elms (1924) by American playwright Eugene O’Neill and a drama, The House of Bernarda Alba (1936) by Spanish playwright Federico Garcia Lorca . The author will be analysing the characters of the mothers, Abbie (Desire Under the Elms) and Bernarda Alba (The House of Bernarda Alba) and how their dysfunctional characters and behaviours are because of the influence and impact of patriarchy. A typical feminine quality assigned to a mother is of a nurturer who protects her children. But what are the consequences when she does otherwise? These plays depict the actions taken by the women that the society doesn’t associate to their role as a mother and doesn’t approve of them. The author will be looking at several tragedies and analyse the characters of the mothers. The author will be looking at the act of maternal filicide. So, this comes to us as a shock because we are not ready to accept this aspect of her character. Abbie kills her own son to prove her love for Eben and Bernarda Alba, a matriarch who controls the lives of the women around her, doesn’t shed a tear at the suicide of her daughter and exempts anyone from doing so. By the means of this study, The author wants to show that a mother is a human and she functions according to her desires and passions and they are allowed to diverge from their so-called perfect roles. They have been trying to break away from the stigma of being perfect and their stereotypical role of a selfless being. They want to place the individual above the society’s image of a mother. The author will compare and contrast the motherly and the un-motherly characteristics.

Language has been conceived to be the most effective medium for communicating one’s ideas and emotions to others . The journey of any language in order to earn recognition undergoes rigorous changes and testing through ages . Language of any particular place or region which is popularly known as the “Dialect” takes the form of a complete expression only after it becomes customary to the lives of the people. The process of getting accustomed in the social order includes its travel through the folk literature, indigenous tales and the travelogues native to their places. This work would accentuate how the folklores in the provinces of Jharkhand and West Bengal , inspite of being geographically divided hold on to have some common features . Their similar historical backgrounds have laid the foundation for many local dialects to not only thrive and develop but to maintain its strong roots till today.
