    About this ebook

    Henrik Ibsen's 1890 play "Hedda Gabler" is a study of a woman who wants to climb the social ladder. Where another of Ibsen's great female character, Nora from "A Doll's House", had her eyes brutally opened ten years earlier to the hypocrisy of the bourgeoisie and brakes away from her husband and children as a result, Hedda Gabler goes in the opposite direction. She moves into this world knowingly, eyes wide open and free from delusions, with no expectations that a bourgeois lifestyle could make her happy. A choice that will have tragic consequences.-

    Henrik Ibsen

    Henrik Ibsen (1828-1906) was a Norwegian playwright who thrived during the late nineteenth century. He began his professional career at age 15 as a pharmacist’s apprentice. He would spend his free time writing plays, publishing his first work Catilina in 1850, followed by The Burial Mound that same year. He eventually earned a position as a theatre director and began producing his own material. Ibsen’s prolific catalogue is noted for depicting modern and real topics. His major titles include Brand, Peer Gynt and Hedda Gabler.
