| Abstract | This article investigates the protagonist’s somewhat ambiguous suicide in Henrik Ibsen’s Hedda Gabler (1890). In this play, suicide is used a device for achieving freedom from social restrictions. Ibsen depicts the eponymous character as out of synch with the mindless strictures of her social situation and who uses suicide as a device to break through the frozen surface of her world. Hedda’s suicide foregrounds a significant tension between individual freedom and social responsibility. |
