Considered by many critics a heroine as complex and tragic so as to rival Hamlet, Hedda finds her life in disarray after the sudden appearance of her husband's rival--her former lover, Eilert--and, consumed by jealousy toward Eilert's new paramour, triggers the chain of events that will lead to the play's ultimate, shocking conclusion. \u003ci\u003eThe Wild Duck\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Lady from the Sea\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eRosmersholm\u003c\/i\u003e, though lesser known, are no less provocative or brimming with psychological complexity; together, these four plays serve as timeless explorations of identity, society, power, and freedom.\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e","brand":"Penguin Classics","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":49000244838650,"sku":"9780141194578","price":17.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0815\/3101\/1322\/files\/imageloader_e53c9779-34b3-4dc2-9a9e-de5bda4a47a9.jpg?v=1781307904","url":"https:\/\/serafinibooks.com\/products\/hedda-gabler-and-other-plays","provider":"Serafini Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
