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":"Default Title","offer_id":48845519454413,"sku":"9780141194578","price":17.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0557\/1529\/9533\/files\/imageloader_3112ffd2-fe43-4c9e-a244-52d3e6d81269.jpg?v=1792776594","url":"https:\/\/booksatmidnight.com\/products\/hedda-gabler-and-other-plays","provider":"Books At Midnight","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
