Question

Compare the characters of Hedda Gabler and Daisy Miller: A Study. Both are the inventions of realist writers, but which character seems to offer a higher degree of morally ambiguity? Explain your answer with at least 150 words.

Answer 1

Answer:

Hedda Gabler has a greater degree of moral ambiguity.

Explanation:

Hedda Gabler and Daisy Miller are characters from different works. Hedda Gabler is a character in the play "Hedda Gabler" written by Henrik Ibsen. Hedda is a married woman, wealthy, intelligent and ambitious. In addition, she is extremely manipulative and manages to act sneaky and unpredictable so that everyone acts the way she wants. Hedda presents several moments of dishonesty, where she is conscious and proud to deceive people. In short, Hedda acts solely for his own benefit, showing a high ambiguity.

Daisy Miller is the protagonist of the book "Daisy Miller" written by Henry James. Daisy is an American girl from the interior of New York. She was raised in a wealthy family and has a great dream of entering European high society. Daisy is ambitious and somewhat futile, but she is a naive girl who lives because of her own dreams. Although Daisy also presents controversial moments, she is not as ambiguous in nature as Hedda, since many of her actions are based on naivete and the few experiences of youth.
