Paper Summary:
This paper is an assesment of Henrik Ibsen's play "Hedda Gabler" as a tragedy. It looks at Hedda's tragic flaw and contends Hedda is only a tragic figure in the superficial sense, and that she is heroic and independent on another level.From the Paper:
"Ibsen's Hedda Gabbler is on its most superficial level a tragedy as Aristotle would have defined it in Poetics. On the surface it seems that Ibsen has provided his audience with a tragic hero in Hedda with a tragic flaw in her quest to prove her own independence and with a point of no return in the moment that he decided not to tell Ejlert that she actually has the manuscript that he has lost. These are most certainly the makings of tragedy ..."More papers on The Tragedy of "Hedda Gabler":
