Realism creates the appearance of life as it is actually experienced. Characters in modern realistic works speak dialogues in the same way people speak in their daily lives. They no longer speak in highly poetic language, with formal statements, digressions or soliloquies. Furthermore, realistic events can certainly be heroic, but they focus on the experiences of ordinary people such as work, love, marriage, children and death. Therefore, conflicts in realistic works are likely to reflect problems in our lives. Playwrights found it necessary to create works that reflected the lives of their audiences. Furthermore, in melodramas conflicts sometimes arise from plot rather than characterization; regularly a virtuous individual faces and overcomes an evil oppressor. Usually, a melodramatic story ends happily. Therefore, melodramas entertain audiences with exciting actions while respecting a traditional sense of justice. From the realists' perspective, Meyer adds that melodramas were simply escapist fantasies that distorted life by refusing to examine the real world closely and objectively. Furthermore, the problem play popularized by Henrik Ibsen is a type of drama that addresses controversial social issues to awaken the audience. Related to realism is another movement, called naturalism. Naturalism derives its name from the idea that humans are part of nature and subject to its laws. Characters in nature comedies are generally depicted as victims overwhelmed by internal and external forces. It is therefore an extreme form of realism. Theatrical conventions of modern drama consist of framed scenes. Scenarios and props are used to create an illusion of reality. Furthermore, the technical effects can make us believe that there are wo...... middle of paper ......conflicts to push the action of his game. Furthermore, he used the theatrical conventions of modern drama such as the "little bookcase with richly bound books" described in the play's opening scene. "A Doll's House" dramatizes the tensions of a nineteenth-century middle-class marriage in which a wife struggles with her identity imposed by her husband and society. The characters behave more or less as we believe people behave. Additionally, Nora wears clothes that make her look like a doll. Furthermore, Meyer states that it "could make dramatic sense in an absurdist adaptation that sought to dramatize Nora's loss of identity and dehumanization as a result of her marriage." This play demonstrated realistic events focusing on the experiences of ordinary people such as work, love, marriage and children. The conflicts in “A Doll's House” are likely to reflect problems in our lives.
