There is a side of Hedda Gabler, however, that seems to differ from that of women in general. Sometimes it seemed like she didn't like the idea of ​​sexual intercourse with men. Her disdain for being a woman and revulsion at sexual intimacy with men may elude even deeper reasons leading to her suicide. Ibsen purposely sought to raise awareness of this unfortunate reality for women throughout Norway in the 19th century, and that is what Hedda Gabler and A Doll's House succeeded in doing.
