Answer 1

Yes, this story is a classical tragedy. 1.) Hedda is noble because she feels that she cannot live with such low class people. She thinks she is better and of high class than Tesman. 2.) she has a TRAGIC FLAW...She cares too much of what people think of her. This leads her to her death. 3.) Every hero suffers; therefore, we can see she struggles because she cares too much of what people think of her. She struggles with herself. 4.) She is destined to die because of her tragic flaw.

Answer 2

Hedda Gabler is considered more of a psychological drama or a realistic tragedy rather than a classical tragedy. While it shares some elements with classical tragedies, such as the downfall of the protagonist, it also diverges in its focus on the internal conflicts and motivations of the characters.
