I realized how both ends of the play of Hedda Gabler and Bernarda Alba are similar.
Hedda and Adela are both killed at the end with really little to say,
it was all quite sudden and pretty surprising to me at least.
Also the characters who were close to Adela or Hedda barely gave any sympathy:
George with, "Shot herself! Shot herself in the temple! Can you imagine! (304).
and Bernarda, "And I want no weeping. Death must be looked at face to face. Silence! (211).
I thought this was quite funny because they really didn't care much for the fact that they're loved in is DEAD but for the George the way she did it and for Bernarda-she just cares about herself and her reputation.
How sad.

I agree with you here fadwa, the endings of these plays were really similar. Especially because Adela and Hedda were really rebellious characters in both plays because they wanted more power and control over their lives. And then in the end when they killed themselves as u said earlier.
