Summary: Ibsen's Hedda is an aristocratic and spiritually hollow woman, nearly devoid of redeeming virtues. A woman of no conscience and no conviction, a strong mind trapped in an unstimulated and unhappy life, she remains mean, envious, insolent and cruel in protest against others' happiness. Her feeling of anger and jealousy toward a former schoolmate, and her ruthless manipulation of her husband and an earlier admirer, lead her down a destructive path that ends abruptly with her own tragic demise.
My rating: 7/10
