Dickens & Ibsen/Heartless Women
[ send me this essay ]
A 5 page essay that contrasts and compares the characters of Edith in Dickens' Dombey and Son and Ibsen's Hedda in Hedda Gabler. The writer argues that each author creates female characters who behave in a heartless and cruel manner, seemingly incapable of being able to love or behave in the typical nurturing manner that was a societal expectation from Victorian women. In each work, the authors make profound statements about nineteenth century society and its values. However, while Ibsen's Hedda is a comment on the supercilious nature of the aristocracy, Dickens' Edith's behavior is largely in reaction to her environment and the materialistic values of the emerging bourgeoisie, particularly the overbearing pride of her capitalist husband, Paul Dombey. No additional sources cited.
