First published in 1890, Hedda Gabler
has since become recognized as a classic of drama and realism. The
lead, title character of Hedda is considered one of the great dramatic roles
in theatre and has been referred to as the "female Hamlet". She is
seen by some as a feminist heroine fighting society and by others as a
manipulative villain. The play remains relevant today as it explores
the pressures by which society insures conformity to accepted values and
suppresses the individual perhaps to the point of destruction.
