The ending of Hedda Gabbler was weird. Her death was unexpected. By the middle of act four we know that Lovborg is dead and Tesman's Aunt Rina is dead too. I expected something else to happen but i didn't expect it to end with another dead person. Hedda's death only seemed like an escape attempt. She was guilty for the death of Lovborg, she was trapped by Judge Brack's words and she was always so bored. Her death was just an escape, which leaves me to thinl that Hedda wasn't as hardcore as she seems. She couldn't face her problems head on, like a strong woman would be able to do.
I didn't like the ending so much, it left me with alot of questions. Like why did she play with the piano? Did she plan this death prior to knowing Lovborg was dead? What exactly persuade her to pull the trigger and take her own life? why were her last words direct towards the Judge?

i think Hedda's suicide was an escape.
i think she wanted to die because she knew that she had lost the battle of gaining control.
like she didn't see a way around Brack...
he had her life wrapped around his finger.
