Why did hedda gabler kill herself?
Hedda was very unhappy with her lifestyle as it was. She married George out of convenience. She was interested in her first suitor. The manuscript that was burned, at the hands of Hedda, was the only thing stopping George from having the good life Hedda wanted. Hedda was pregnant, which would keep her in that life with George forever. Mrs. Elvsted had notes of the manuscript she and Lovborg wrote, this drove Hedda to shoot herself. She knew with the notes the manuscript would still exist and her husband George would not be rich and famous.
