초록
This study on Hedda Gabler by Henrik Ibsen examines the significance of Hedda’s invisible dancing body exploring her life and death. By examining her dance, I attempt to clarify her active resistance in her death. While prior studies have not considered why Hedda’s dance is not visible but audible, this study challenges with a new point of view to read Hedda Gabler with regard to the social repression acting on a woman’s body. If it were not for the invisible dance, her destructive behavior would have been suitable as a maneating temptress’s acts, and her suicide would have been a total failure in a patriarchal society. This study on the invisible dancing body opens the possibility of reaffirming that her destructive behavior originated from inauthenticity and restrictions on her body,that her dance could be from a thirst for absolute freedom, and that her suicide could result from her final independent will and courage to resist patriarchal society.
Abstract
This study on Hedda Gabler by Henrik Ibsen examines the significance of Hedda’s invisible dancing body exploring her life and death. By examining her dance, I attempt to clarify her active resistance in her death. While prior studies have not considered why Hedda’s dance is not visible but audible, this study challenges with a new point of view to read Hedda Gabler with regard to the social repression acting on a woman’s body. If it were not for the invisible dance, her destructive behavior would have been suitable as a maneating temptress’s acts, and her suicide would have been a total failure in a patriarchal society. This study on the invisible dancing body opens the possibility of reaffirming that her destructive behavior originated from inauthenticity and restrictions on her body,that her dance could be from a thirst for absolute freedom, and that her suicide could result from her final independent will and courage to resist patriarchal society.
