The correct answer is option B. "inexplicable motivation for Hedda's actions".
Explanation:
The play "Hedda Gabler" by Henrik Ibsen, is one of the most celebrated plays of the author recognized as a classic of realism, nineteenth century theatre, and world drama. However a common criticism of the play is that the protagonist Hedda Gabler has inexplicable motivations for her actions, often considered to happen just to add drama to the play. Particularly, the motivations of Hedda's killing herself are not clear and are still a theme for analysis nowadays.
The answer is indeed letter B. inexplicable motivation for Hedda's actions.
Explanation:
Hedda Gabler is both the name of the character and the name of the play by Norwegian author Henrik Ibsen. Hedda is a married woman, her last name being Tesman. Ibsen chose to use what would be her maiden name, Gabler, so that the audience would see Hedda as her father's daughter instead of as her husband's wife.
The play is very much acclaimed, and Hedda's character is one of the greatest dramatic roles in teather. However, one common criticism about it are Hedda's motivations to act the way she does. She manipulates people around her, being astoundingly selfish even there seems to be no gain for her from the situation. There are critics who justify Hedda's actions as being a result from her extreme boredom. She would have developed a neurotic personality due to her unhappiness and dissatisfaction. Thus, her motivations would only be clear to herself. She would have desires to fulfill that could not be explained by anyone else. Anyway, those are conjectures, since Ibsen himself never clarified these details about his character.
Honestly, I think that the main idea of Harrison Bergeron is social equality as everyone in present day America wants to be equal with everyone else and in Harrison Bergeron, no one can be unique. I can’t think of anything for the second part.
