Katrine Mansfeild is an esteemed author who had years of
experiance which she wrote about in her own unique way. THe
boys that are rude and unkind represent this.
She tells her story's from a childs point of veiw.
Kathrine has a unique way of endowing objects with
emotion. The doll's house is looked at in
great depth we are told much more about the doll's house than
we are about the characters. For
example we do not know anything of Kazia as a person or age
or apperance of any of the characters. This is due to the story needing
to be kept as short as posible and the unessersary information is
taken out. The
story's are autobiagraphical as the are the memories from her
childhood.
Her sotries outline a single event such as the explination of
the doll's house when it arrives. Age and other things are
hinted at through-out the stroy.
Men are seen as preditors in all of Katrines story's. This is shown through the way she describes the lamp
"The lamp was perfect,it seemed to smile at Kezia". The doll's houseis seen from the perspective of
Kezia in the way that everthing is noticed.
