Is death Freedom?
Between the past two plays we've read death has been the means of escape. Is death truly the means of escape in the social hierarchy? Can you only reach true freedom by dying or is there an alternative that the characters just are not seeing? It seems like when they lose what they have worked so hard for or worked so hard to pursue, they give uo and find that easiest way out....death.

yea i guess the characters who committed suicide, such as Hedda and Adela, could not handle the pressures in which follow their actions they pursued. They only put themselves in the situations they be in. If they were to take a different route and not have done wat they did, they would not have felt the need to commit suicide.
I guess in my case, the question lies in the realm of morality. Suicide is an act of desperation, and almost is never a thought out process. Both characters, Adela and Hedda, made rash decisions before killing themselves. It isn't the "easy" way out in my opinion, but it is the only one that shows itself directly after a tramatizing event, such as the death of Pepe or the lose of all control.
