A grave located in a cemetery in Oslo, Norway is baffling locals. A white cross was placed in the graveyard bearing the name of Ejlert Løvborg, who was a fictional personality from the play known as Hedda Gabler.

Take a walk through any cemetery and you’ll notice all the different family names. And of course, those names represent a real human person rather than a fictional character.

A grave located in a cemetery in Oslo, Norway is baffling locals. A white cross was placed in the graveyard bearing the name of Ejlert Løvborg, who was a fictional personality from the play known as Hedda Gabler.

Løvborg was depicted as a recovering alcohol who struggled to live a happy and normal life, despite previous academic success. He later committed suicide.

It appears as though someone was obsessed with Løvborg’s role. The cross also showcased the years of the character’s birth and death, and was planted near the actual gravesite of the play’s author, Henrik Ibsen.

It was not immediately clear who was responsible for mounting the character’s cross.

According to the manager of the cemetery, Jan Taraldsen, no one had asked him prior to installing the fictional memorial. He stated “This is the first time I've seen something like this. It was a bit special.”

The cross was subsequently scheduled to be removed by cemetery workers.
