Forgot to add - we all have a little Hedda in our personalities. Hedda just didn't manage it, so she was consumed by it.
She was hemmed in by that military background - the absolute stucture of it (I related, because I'm an army brat.) There are allusions to what "the general" was like and he wasn't warm and fuzzy. And there was no tempering female presence. That softness is inaccessible in her - it's why she's so freaked out when Tesman's aunt touches her cheek. The whole "vine leaves in his hair" is a freedom and an expression denied her by the period/culture and because she's afraid. Ibsen said she was too afraid to put out into the world what she encourages Lovborg to express. A sort of poetry.I can talk all day about Hedda. I'd love to hang sometime. I'm swamped this week. But hopefully the next week will be better. (And I just started acting again last year. )
My godson. He looks like a baby Buddha in this picture.Hedda Gabler is one of the best plays I've ever read. I played her in college and it wasn't until I did the play that I thought that - and I cringed when I read "b*tch" - I know she is but I'm still protective of her. She's in such pain that she's a freight train going 100 mph straight into a brick wall - she can't stop herself. I think my friend is taking me to that production. He loves the play,too.
Hey, my internet's been out. Finally got it fixed today. And I love checking out people's books. I'm looking at the add next to this box I'm typing in and it's for a kindle. Are you still reading Proust on yours?
