Comparison between Hedda and Adela

I actually think Hedda is a lot more like Adela than Berarda. Not just because of the fact that they both kill themselves and there are assumptions to them both being pregnant, but because of their struggle for power. Adela wants freedom of her mother and house, which seem to hold her back, especially from her “love” Pepe. Hedda wants freedom from her role as a woman, and her house too, because she is unhappy with her marriage. Through freedom, both of these characters wish to gain control, however, they never really do. The only control that they end up having is control of their own lives through death.

Hedda and Adela are similar especially with their suicide. They both commited suicide because they wanted to escape their disapponting lives.
