ACT 4 (Hedda vs. Adela)

I think its verii interesting how Ibsen and Lorca both chose to end both of there pieces with the death of women. Adela and Hedda were both bond by... Well Adela was bound by society but Hedda was bound by her own self interest. It can be argued that Hedda is also bound by society but she allows society to bind her so... is that a tru possiblity? Adela had no choice but to kill herself that was the onlii way out 4 her. Adela didn't have the option of freedom any more, bcuz of Pepe death but Hedda did bcuz she was alreadii married and cuda basically did whteva she wanted to. Wht do u guys think??? Am i missing sumthin??

I think Hedda didn't really have any other options, from her point of view. She couldn't have gone on living knowing that Brack had this power over her and she had no escape, just like Adela couldn't live with Bernarda's power over her. They both basically kill themselves because they lose their means to escape.
