The Doll's House by Katherine Mansfield
2.0
I read The Doll's House for school and must write an essay on the topic of the disparity between the adult world and that of a child.
To be honest, I really didn't like the story. It was mercifully short, but the way my notes make it out to be so clever and brilliant make its mediocrity stand out more than it normally would. I've read much better short stories and this one doesn't seem as "deep" as the teacher wants me to believe.
The theme of the adult world vs. the child world doesn't seem as important as the more obvious themes of class distinction and/or bullying.
I give it two out of five stars.
