I found the deaths of both Hedda and Lovborg quite eccentric. The fact that they happened back to back i find ironic. I'm not too sure if Eilert killed himself or if it was Hedda, but if he did, then it was because he was basically fed up with life. Seeing how Hedda destroyed his manuscript in which he put much work into was probably what could have pushed him to his limit. As for Hedda, she had nothing to do with her life regardless so i guess she thought suicide was the answer for her to escape from her means of boredom.

Alrite... i was just sittin and wonderin... was Aunt Rina supposed to b sum sort of symbol or sumthin? Cuz to me, she's jus in the play jus because... i know she was the Aunt of George Tesman. I also know the fact that she was majorly ill, and that her sickness may have hindered her play time (<--get it! playtime and play time... man am i clever!), but thats about all i can get from Aunt Rina. Nothing more or nothing less... Other than what i said, i dont even know why she's in the play...

About that opening scene of the first act in the play, i believe it has some sort of symbolism behind it. To me, the dark colors of the room bring a source of negative energy to the play. With the big portrait placed inside of the drawing room, in addition to the flowers, it seems as if the room is some sort of memorabilia for Hedda's father. Seeing how when people where dark-colored clothing to funerals and what not, the entire room is decorated in dark to instill the mourning of his death within the household.

Hedda is crazy. Who do u know plays with pistols when they are bored? Not many i know. She is very dangerous while with these pistols. This is why she has so much power with them because everyone fears her while she has them, not knowing if she would shoot at any moment or not. But, without the pistols, she is nothing to be feared. This can play into why Judge Brack is able to take control of Hedda.

In my opinion, i see Judge Brack as very manipulative just as Hedda, if not more than she is. He hides his obsession with Hedda until he feel is the right time to make a move on her, knowing she has a husband. What makes it even worse is the fact that Judge Brack is good friends with George Tesman. With his wierd fascination with Hedda, he now has no one seeing how Hedda blew her guts out! ........ sad, i know.

What's the big deal with Hedda and Thea having issues related to Lovborg? They makin him look like a player or something! I bet Lovborg jus be sittin back, chillin, watchin the two go at it. Ay i don't blame him! He might as well enjoy the moment while it lasts. In the end, i would probably think that Lovborg would rather prefer the likes of Thea than Hedda... or at least i would.

George, to me, is a very weak man (if he should even be called that). Besides the fact that he is weak, he is always unsure of himself, or so it may seems. He is blind to the true personality of Hedda. He doesn't even realize the fact that she messes around with other people. What Hedda saw in him from the get-go, i do not know. She probably jus wanted someone who she knew she would hav power and control over.

Juliana is the aunt of George Tesman. She is also known as Aunt Julie. Hedda greatly dislikes her with a passion. The relationship Hedda has with Aunt Julie affects the one she has with both George Tesman and their maid, Berta. Berta was the previous maid of Aunt Julie, so you know there are gonna be problems in this little square of conflict, all caused by Hedda, they got goin for themselves. Hedda even threatens Berta with her job, just because of her affiliation with George and Juliana.

Thea, to me, is a very simplistic woman who, in a sense, has no control over her own life. She tends to let others run over her as if she figures she is of little to no importance and that her voice does not matter. In comparison to Hedda, she is very feminine. But this is because Hedda has many masculant ways in which places her under the category of being more masculant than feminine. For example, she was the dominant force in her marriage with George Tesman.

In my opinion, I believe that Hedda feels the need to control other people in order to gain authority, or demand a higher respect from others. Although this might be what she feels is going to work, it only hinders what she wants or is trying to accomplish. For example, at first Hedda and Thea had a pretty good relationship until Hedda tries to physically take control or Thea. This is when everything starts to crumble as far as the relationship between Hedda and Thea goes.
