Who am I?...Who am I to you?

In the song "Everybody's Fool" by Evanescence, Amy Lee sings "Perfect by nature/ Icons of self indulgence/ Just what we all need/ More lies about a world that/ Never was and never will be / Have you no shame? Don't you see me?/ You know you've got everybody fooled."

Amy Lee sings about how in today's society we need to be a certain way to be accepted. As well as, how because we act the way we are accepted we don't know that we are "Everybody's fool" because we are the ones losing our true selves.

You see the meaning of these lyrics happening to Nora. You see this because Nora is so used to putting on a front for everyone that she has lost her own identity, or it could simply be that she never found it. In today's world you can see this happening to many teenagers and young adults because of the mass media and peer pressure. However, because of all these pressure that we experience we end up finding ourselves, I think. At the end of the play, Nora leaves because she realizes that something is wrong and that maybe who she thought that Torvald is, turns out that he isn't. She had a rude awakening in that way. For young adults today, the it doesn't necessarily have to be a bad marriage for us to realize that we need to change something in our lives. It is usually when something bad has happened, whether its a death or that we get into trouble when we finally realize that we need to change.
