Hedda Gabler Tragedy

In Hedda Gabler there is much confusion and disarray towards the end of the story. This is mainly because of the death at the end of the story that came at the worst time; especially the way in which the death took place, because there could never be a good time for a death like that. The death came after a night of partying, where everyone seemed to be having a good time. One could say that the stress of the book he was writing got to Mr. Loevborg. That stress could have led him to take him own life.
The death of Eilert Loevborg touched the lives of all the characters in the story. Eilert Loevborg's death touched some more than others. He and Mrs. Elvsted had a close relationship before he passed away. Mrs. Elvsted seemed to have a deep love for Mr. Loevborg, and it was apparent that she would miss him greatly and that she was hurt immensly by his passing away. As soon as Mrs. Elvsted got the news that he might be in trouble she starting screaming, "Oh God, God!" (Isben 1513). The death of Eilert Loevborg clearly shocked Mrs. Elvsted, and it also hurt her. Mrs. Elvsted felt bad about his death and somewhat guilty. While she was weeping and talking to Hedda she said, "Oh, Hedda! And we parted enemies." (Ibsen 1513). Mrs. Elvsted did not know that Hedda gave Eilert Loevborg the gun that ended up taking his life. One could imagine that if Mrs. Elvsted knew Hedda had done this, she may very well have tried to take Hedda's life in revenge for Loevborg's death.
It can only be speculated as to why exactly
