Similarities+and+Differences+between+Nora+and+Hedda

Although Nora and Hedda are similar in character, it is their differences that make them //stand out//. Finally I get to write about how Ibsen's "Hedda Gabler" main character Hedda Gabler, and his character from “A Doll’s House” Nora Helmer are strikingly similar. The way Ibsen makes both of these plays so intriguing to readers is his dynamic main characters. Both could be stated as mentally insane, but for different reasons. Hedda Goes insane over the stress of everyday life and ends up [|shooting herself] (9:08 of video) while Nora fits the roll of insane by leaving a perfectly good life trying to “search for herself”. Both have a partner force which thrusts or drives their insanity. For Nora her realization that her husband does not love her but needs her as a prize/token of sucess drives Nora to the epiphany that she no longer needs her significant other and is not living the life that she desires. The difference between Hedda and Nora is their snappings under pressure. Nora goes to the leaving stage while Hedda goes in a different path of suicide. Both woman are strong dynamic woman who if they can not recieve their goals will ultimately take new paths. It is the new path which seperates crazy woman whom shot herself to the crazy woman who left a perfectly, or so she thought pefect, good life.
