Hedda Gabler Research Paper

153 Words1 Pages
Ibsen wrote Hedda Gabler different than most of his other plays. The play is set about thirty years before the play was first viewed (Clurman 164). In this time period, women were only allowed to play the roles of motherhood and marriage (Clurman 164). Because of this, women were protected from life’s harsh reality (Clurman 164). With the play Hedda Gabler, Ibsen criticizes the way women, society, and life was in that era (Clurman 166). Like most of his plays, Ibsen wrote about the wrongs of society and the injustices by the use of thought out characters and struggles (Bloom 15). As Harold Bloom stated in his book on him, Ibsen works showed a, “presentation of a truer reality was disturbing and at times incomprehensible” (Bloom 16).
