Does the character of Lovborg in Ibsen's Hedda Gabler represent glory?

The character of Eilert Lovborg in the story
Hedda Gabler, by Henrik Ibsen, does have a brush with glory because
he has the talent, intelligence, ability, and ambition to become a very glorious scholar
and academician. He is capable of mingling with the right crowds, and charming the right
women. He is obviously very well-versed and lets out, in most of his work, a quality of
educated thinking that leaves his rivals quite behind.

This
is precisely what makes Hedda so angry: Lovborg, who is her former lover, is more
successful and gifted than Hedda's own husband. This is a clear blow to her narcissistic
ego.

The problem with Lovborg, however, is that he is as
talented as he is weak of character. He does charm the ladies, but ends up in all sorts
of problems because of it. He drinks a lot, and gets frustrated easily. Like many other
genius people his eccentricities include carelesness, exemplified by the moment when he
misplaces the manuscript. In all, although Lovborg is a very strong man in terms of
book-smarts, he is a very vulnerable human being. This could bring him rocketing down
from any glorious position, which is exactly what happens in the
end.
