This page talks of the relationship between the novel A Doll's House and Wuthering Heights
A Doll's House In both Wuthering Heights and Henrik Ibsen's A Doll's House, the theme of manipulation appears repeatedly. Heathcliff manipulates Cathy into thinking that it was Edgar's fault that she could never see him or Linton. He says this in order to persuade her into visiting the Heights more often and to delay her and Nelly from going back home. Heathcliff also manipulates her into feeling obligated to stay for Linton's sake. He makes Linton plead with Cathy to visit Linton everyday to help him get better. In A Doll's House, the husband, Helmer, manipulates his wife, Nora, into thinking that she should act a certain way, perform certain tasks, dress nicely, care for the kid's, and play the part of a good housewife. Most importantly, she should listen to her husband due to the fact that he is the man of the house. He makes her feel obligated to listen to him becasue she would be lost without him and society had brainwashed women of the time into believing that they were inferior to men. Helmer's control over Nora for power. Nora deceivces Helmer for his own good. Nora finds courage to stand up to Helmer.
