Need help with my writing homework on Hedda Gebler by Henrik Ibsen. Write a 1250 word paper answering; Neo realism & inconclusiveness were the components upon which Ibsen framed the character of the nihilistic Hedda. Hedda Gabler enters the viewer’s world in a haphazard dressing gown & leaves albeit an ultimate showmanship of lunacy. Each of her decisions & dialogues confronts the audience with utmost confusion & contradiction. Her multi dimensional character reflects wittiness, cruelty, hypocrisy, & selfishness at different junctures. With every single sentence the reader feels that he has made an understanding of Hedda’s convoluted character, but the very adjacent line takes him to a topsy-turvy ride far away from this mysterious woman. Hedda is a newly wedded person, but for a bride of her age, she is extremely cold. She resides in a majestic house with a caring & doting husband, but seems to be disinterested in everything around her (Ibsen, 1-6). While she opts to remain aloof from people or elements intertwining her life, she invokes special interest to dominate the characters surrounding her. An aloof but a dominating character, Hedda remains as a bone of contention for everyone. She does not want to become a wife, nor does she have an inclination for extra marital affairs. Her missions to dominate others fail more than often making her a prey of her own idiosyncrasies. She is in essence, a woman who in the midst of her own relentless power struggle cannot conclude what she wants (Ibsen, 1-6). Hedda is the modern woman of the 19th century looking to break the shackles of male domination. But her past never leaves her alone. She fails to overcome the influence of a strong male character in her life, in this case her late father. Hedda’s father has been confined to his coffin since a while. Still her father, General Gabler looms over her existence from a gigantic portrait. Hedda subconsciously strives to imitate her father but often fails miserably, as the characters around her do not seem to be excessively bothered about her commanding attitude. Yet she marries a mild mannered simpleton named George Tesman, who devotes the bulk of his time on research work. Hedda disorientates herself from George, & tries revamping herself as an avatar of her dead father. She begins to hover around with a gun & discovers masochism while aiming the weapon towards oblivious individuals (Ibsen, 35-45). Her level of extreme eccentricity is precisely depicted in the sequence when she points the gun towards Judge Brack with the desire to shoot him. The sequence enfolds in following fashion: “HEDDA: (Raises the pistol & aims) Now, Judge Brack, I am going to shoot you. BRACK: (Shouting from below) No, no, no. do not stand there aiming at me like that. HEDDA: That is what you get for coming up the back way (she shoots). BRACK: Are you out of your mind? HEDDA: Oh, good lord, did I hit you?” (Ibsen, 43) A psychoanalytical analyst would make the judgment that Judge Brack represents Hedda’s father to her, because he too is an influential character, who has flexed his muscles in assisting Hedda & her husband to acquire their new home. This act has made Hedda indebted towards Brack, & now she wants to blast that jinx. A state arrives in play when Hedda discovers that she does not have the power or the will force to escape Brack’s influence. This turns out be an intolerable phase in her already messed up life.
