I only read Hedda Gabler and then The Master Builder, Hedda Gabler was the one I wanted to read. Very good, Ibsen loves unspoken contracts and assumptions. In Gabler it's done incredibly, with Hedda being maybe the most indirectly ruthless character I've encountered. In the Master Builder it sort of feels more of the same, with a lot of different strands up in the air and becomes rather taxing to take in. I'd imagine Hedda Gabler would have me glued to my seat in the theater while Master Builder would have me checking my watch and wondering how much longer this would be going on.
