Non-Violence and Submission: An Analysis of Morality Synopsis: This six-page graduate paper expresses the views of Mohatmas Gandhi on civil disobedience and achieving change through non-violence, and then compares them to similar themes presented in Henrik IbsenÂ’s play, A Doll House, and Herman MelvilleÂ’s novella, Billy Budd. The author notes that the mindless rigidity of such legal structures is what compelled idealistic advocates of non-violent social and political reform such as Gandhi to formulate their doctrines in an effort to bring morality, equality, and justice into harmony with the legal structure of the state. Unlike many who have shared his views, Gandhi didnÂ’t only talk about them, he lived them, and ultimately gave up his life for them.
