This insightful resource explores the intricate layers of characterisation, themes, and dramatic structure that make the play a cornerstone of theatre studies.
The Story
Set in the late 19th century, Hedda Gabler revolves around the life of Hedda, a strong-willed and enigmatic woman trapped in a stifling marriage to the dull scholar Jørgen Tesman. As she struggles with the constraints of societal expectations and her own desires, the arrival of her former lover, Ejlert Løvborg, ignites a perilous chain of events.
