Hedda Gabler - The Original Classic Edition eBook

Hedda Gabler lives in an absolute prison. Her idylic residence is a prison, her marriage to a hopeful ilustrious intellectual is a prison, but above all, she lives imprisoned by herself, trapped by the social parameters that demand her to live the way she does. Hedda just cant figure out how to get out of that tedious state. Shes intelligent, cold, severe; Gabler has an almost prodigious capacity to obtain all the information she inquires about the people around her; she manipulates them, she seems to get involved, but she simply tries to take advantage of the situation. Apparently, she doesnt feel much, but in reality, Hedda is in constant turmoil - her involvement has to do, almost exclusively, with what she just cannot allow herself to do. For this woman, being able to have some sort of power over someone becomes the most exciting of all experiences, however - theres a point when she no longer will be able to manipulate the situation on her favor, she will realize how many forces have power over her; therefore, she will simply do the most congruent and coherent of things, as unexpected and shocking as the outcome of this play could possibly be.
