Hedda Gabler

Hedda Gabler

Henrik Ibsen

Henrik Ibsen's Hedda Gabler introduces a woman who is bored with her new author husband and to life itself. Hedda reunites with a friend who overcame alcoholism to write his own book. Jealous that Eilert's book tops her husband's, Hedda tempts Eilert into taking a drink and into realizing that his own life lacks meaning. Henrik Ibsen's play demonstrates that, when confined to life in the home, a Victorian woman's hunger for independence could, like Hedda's, turn destructive.
