Paper Summary:

In the play "Hedda Gabler" by Ibsen, the main character Hedda's ultimate goal is her independence. This paper shows how ultimately, however, her quest for independence leads to her destruction.

From the Paper:

"There are several characters in the play "Hedda Gabler" by Ibsen who have a delusive view of life. Hedda Gabler lives in a world of her own creation. Hedda believes she is an independent woman who will never be at the mercy of others. Throughout the play, Hedda asserts her independence by attempting to control and manipulate other characters. Hedda's misconstrued view of reality regarding her own independence serves to impact her life in self-destructive ways."
