'Hedda Gabler' by Henrik Ibsen

Hedda Gabler, the heroine of Ibsen’s fascinating psychological drama, is married to a man she does not love and finds herself trapped by her upbringing and fear of scandal in the conventions of 19th century society. She tries to relieve her boredom and frustration by slyly manipulating other people, at times quite callously, but her actions lead to tragic results.
