Hedda Gabler (1890) is a play by Norwegian playwright Henrik Ibsen. Its protagonist Hedda Tesman (née Gabler) is one of the most fascinating characters in literature I've ever come across. She is manipulative, intelligent, unpredictable, ambitious, dishonest and suicidal.This play is one of the best ones I've ever read. There'll certainly be more Ibsen on this blog soon!
