Kyd's play The Spanish tragedy was far and away the most popular play in Elizabethan England, so much so that it spawned a whole new genre of play: the revenge tragedy.

It starts out with the Spanish lord Lorenzo and his Portuguese prisoner Balthazar. Lorenzo and Balthazar quickly become friends. Balthazar falls in love with Lorenzo's sister Bel-Imperia. However, she seems to be falling for Horatio, son of Hieronymo. They murder Horatio which drives Hieronymo's wife crazy and she kills herself. Hieronymo vows revenge and plans an entertainment for the king: the play Soliman and Perseda. While he's working on that, two more people die as a result of Lorenzo's machinations.

The performance of the play is a bloodbath. In his "performance", Hieronymo actually kills Lorenzo and Bel-imperia kills Balthazar. Bel-imperia kills herself and Hieronymo bites his own tongue out to prevent himself from naming Bel-Imperia as his accomplice, murders Lorenzo's father and kills himself. The stage ends up littered with corpses with only minor characters left to drag them off.

The title "A Doll's House," most simply, signifies the way the characters in the play all have certain roles to play, and maintain them, like a doll without free will.

This is especially true of Nora. She is introduced as a helpless creature, as Torvald's "squirrel" and "skylark," completely under his control. She does not do or have anything without his permission, and does as she is told. She describes a similar relationship with her father as well, and so it is gradually understood that Nora is the "doll." To the men in her life, she has been nothing but a delicate showpiece, a thing of beauty to be admired but with no real purpose, with no thoughts or opinions of her own.

Towards the end of the play she realizes this, telling Torvald about her father: "He used to call me his doll-child, and he played with me the way I played with my dolls," and "he told me all his opinions, so I had the same ones too." She then says that with Torvald it has been no different, and the title of the play becomes a metaphor for Nora, the house in which she has been a doll, a puppet, a plaything for the controlling men in her world, and her finally taking ownership and possession, and breaking out of her constraints to take hold of her own life.

Oh yes. She gives Antonio a new ring for Bassanio, saying, "Give him this, and bid him keep it better than the other." It's the same ring, of course, but Portia has already said that all is forgiven. Indeed the ring game was a way to ensure Bassanio's obedience, a sort of Taming of the Shrew in reverse. Portia never intended to part with Bassanio.

In the play "the doll's house" by Ibsen, the position of Victorian woman is represented by using the symbol of a doll. As the heroine, Nora, explains at the very end of the play, the women seen as the doll of first their father, then of their husbands with the underlying codes that are sticked by the society. What he mean by "doll" is that women didnot allowed to explain themselves and didnot have any freedom to think, to live in the way they want. They should be silent and good housewieves as long as they did these kind of jobs, such as looking after to children and husband or father, they could be seen as good characters, if not then they began to be seen as 'witches'. So the doll's house symbolizes the strict rules and lines that clenches women of the time (and mostly today's women as well) inside of a house and the few chances or opportunities the society give to them. It's an important symbol so as to comprehend the status of women.

She physically attacks her and also abuses her verbally. But this works just fine for Bianca because it plays into her role as the long-suffering and virtuous innocent, which she isn't, and Kate knows it, and it drives her nuts.

Brutus is because he doesn't show any emotion when he found out that his wife, Portia, died. Someone who is stoic is unaffected by grief or pain, and that is why I believe that Brutus is a stoic character in the tragedy of Julius Caesar.
