Hedda Gabler vs. Miss Julie The plays Miss Julie
and Hedda Gabler of August Strindberg and Henrik
Ibsen have many familiar motifs, which makes one
to wonder about whether the main themes of both
plays had been originated by the realities of 19
th century, as many critics suggest, or by the
specifics of Scandinavian existential mode alone.
Both Strindberg and Ibsen are known for their
traditionalist social stance. No wonder that by
the time when feminism began to gain more and more
influence, bot...

understanding it, has a profound contribution to
the process of being lost. This contribution is
shown earlier in the book, in a passage where
David is lost trying to find his way home (Passage
1) and is mirrored later on in the book, when

Seven Deadly Sins Hedda Gabler

The established view of Hedda Gabler sees the play
as a study of the frustration and despair
engendered in the exceptional individual by a
conventionalized society. In this paper I present
a psychoanalytic re-interpretation of the play
which in certain respects inverts this received
reading. Insofar as it does so, however, my
interpretation is intended not to cancel the
received view but to play against it. The first
section of the paper is predominantly Freudian in
approach. The second section ...

to be an imaginative transformation of reality
which is no way passive (610). Imaginative
transformation means to be able to look at
something from different perspectives, what might
seem black to one might be white to the another.
Imaginative transformation allows one to express
themselves freely through their imagination and
