Hedda Gabler by Henrik Ibsen
"Hedda Gabler" by Henrik Ibsen is a play written in 1890 and premiered in 1891. It dramatizes the story of Hedda, a general's daughter trapped in a loveless marriage and desperate for control over her own life. When her husband's academic rival—a former lover—reappears with his rehabilitated life and brilliant manuscript, Hedda's jealousy and manipulations set tragic events in motion. As she schemes to influence the fates of those around her, she
finds herself increasingly cornered by circumstances and a sinister family friend who threatens her freedom. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
