1)
Daníel hingegen hatte Selbstmord als etwas ganz Normales angesehen
I understand it means "Daniel, on the contrary, [...]", but why is hingegen in second position? Does it work like the preposition nach (meine Meinung nach) and it's attached to Daniel in the first position?

Can hingegen be used separately in another position?

2)
Is dagegen identical in grammar (position) and meaning?

The hingegen in your example works much like the English "on the other hand" and is attached to Daniel.

"Daniel, on the other hand, always thought of suicide as being something completely normal"

Hallo.

Daníel hingegen hatte Selbstmord als etwas ganz Normales angesehen

Oder:

1. Daniel dagegen hatte Selbstmord .......
2. Dagegen / Hingegen hatte Daniel Selbstmord...
3. Dahingegen hatte Daniel........

Bin mir nicht sicher, ob man in Satz 1. Kommas setzen muss:
"Daniel, dagegen/hingegen,..."

"Dagegen" scheint ein bißchen gebräuchlicher zu sein.

Außerdem:

mit etwas nicht einverstanden sein=dagegen sein

Jetzt ist es klar. Es gab kein komma im Buch.
Danke auch für den letzte Ausdrück.

Now it's clear. There wasn't any comma in the book.
Thank you also for the last Expression.
