So what's Thea's real role

Since Thea really isnt a dumb-du,b like we thought she was, what is she? I actually think she represents how feminist movements began, or at least how women gained enough power to create the feminist movements. basically, she plays the role of a women who would have paved the way for others. Even though the play didnt outwardly state that she was smart and alll that, she actually was, she just played the dub role. I think she is very smart, because since she knows she cant be accepted as a woman, she uses men to get her way. She wanted to write, s oshe waited for her next opportunity, sisnce the original manuscript, which i think she wrote anyways, was lost. She did this so she wouldnt have to incorporate Lovborg's ideas at all, but write based off her own ideas.

Hey, so what's the deal with Brack???

Is Brack a past lover of Hedda? But then, why would George even allw him in him and Hedda's house? What do you think Brack would have done if Hedda wouldn't have killed herself??? Well, here's an alternate endign of maybe what would have happened:

He would have had Hedda kill George too, and ofcourse cover it all up with his judge power. Then he would make Hedda marry him and re-write the manuscript with her, and used Thea as their maid. Only, they wouldn't actually be the ones re-writing the manuscript, they would only use Thea's writing, only, they forget to read through it before publiching. So, what they publish actually makes a total fool of them both, and so they are found out. Thea, then has the freedon to write the manuscript herself and take all the credit. Thea then, turns into a huge successful writer, who promotes feminist views and is against the oppression of women.


hmmm.....now wouldnt that have been a nice ending?

Lovborg and Thea vs. Pepe and Bernarda’s daughters

I can see a comparison between the two. Both Pepe and Lovborg have power over the ladies, not so much directly, but they do. Their relationships with women, definitely display the correlation between two plays when it comes to gender roles. In both stories men have power, that is given to them automatically by society, they do not have to work and struggle for power. Women on the other hand, are struggling for power and control in both plays, when they are stuck in societal structures in which men rule over women.

Martirio and Thea

I can see the similarities between Martirio and Thea. They both are like push-overs of the power seekers. Martirio is a push-over of her mother, because she does whatever she says and although she is opposed to her, is remains under her power. Thea is pretty much a push-over of everyone for most of the play, but at the end is not. Thea is especially a push-over of Hedda, until she gets her power through the re-writing of her and Lovborg’s manuscript. In a way i guess it can be argued that Thea only pretend to be a push-ove rhtough. Because she DID defy women's roles by leaving her husband, and who is to say that she was not the one who actually wrote the manuyscript in the first place? you know???

Comparison between Hedda and Adela

I actually think Hedda is a lot more like Adela than Berarda. Not just because of the fact that they both kill themselves and there are assumptions to them both being pregnant, but because of their struggle for power. Adela wants freedom of her mother and house, which seem to hold her back, especially from her “love” Pepe. Hedda wants freedom from her role as a woman, and her house too, because she is unhappy with her marriage. Through freedom, both of these characters wish to gain control, however, they never really do. The only control that they end up having is control of their own lives through death.

Comparison from Hedda to Bernarda from Berarda Alba

Hedda is a lot like Bernarda…or at least seems to be. She seems so mean and straight forward, just like Bernarda. Both of them want complete power over others. Bernarda wants power over her household, while Hedda want just plain control over whoever she can get control of. They are different, though. Mostly because of the fact that Bernarda pretty much HAS control, and Hedda acts like she does at the beginning, but she really has no control, except through death. Its so sad that Hedda had to resort to suicide to finally gain control of even their own lives.

Who's the play about?

Okay..so who's the play about? Is it really even about a single person?? Well, in my opinion, this play isn't necessarily about Hedda specifically, shes more of a figure. I think this lay is mostly a comment on women in theolder times. Although there are huge male characters like Lovborg, they do stand a purpose in creating the silhouette of women in the past. Thea is like the disguised "weakling" and Hedda is just an insecure woman in search of power, but cannot find it, so she decided to get out one way or another. Thea is like that one women out of hundreds who actually did something about finding her way out, I mean how many women do you know left their husband like she did????...basically even thought she gets her power through men (manuscript), the important thing is that she GETS her power.

In the computer lab with my pal Johnny Boy!!!!

Dude Maria...i gotta get going on this blog thing and btw on out paper too....so yeah Hedda, not so great of a novel but Bernarda, is like nothing in this world...so yeah this is Johnny writing not Maria. Kinda reminds me of Gatsby and I dont like that at all!!!! Well guess we have to save our "work" aka two sentences, counting the title that is!!! Well....I guess i'll write on my own blog...hey...got any ideas of how i can make it interesting and fresh?????

The Women

Okay, so in my character analysis, I'm thinking about comparing the women in Hedda Gabler. This obviously includes: Hedda, Thea, and Aunt Julie. So I figured, why not blog about them. Hedda to me, transforms....well, maybe she doesnt tranform, but I guess a mora appropriate way of saying it is that she uncovers her trueness as the story goes on. at the beginning she seems like a strong woman who doesnt settle for less than what she demands, as the story goes on, she seems manipulative, and as it comes to an end, her true self is quickly uncovered. In reality, she is insecure and doesnt follow what she wants because she stays with Tesman instead of leaving him like Thea. Now Thea......the little weakling who depends on other for everything, shes uncovered to be the possible "writer" of Lovborg's book! What a lady! AND...she leaves her husband, which is obviously ou tof her "role" as a woman in this time. Now for Aunt Juliana...to me, she is who she seems to be. She's like a female version of Tesman....lol...j/k. She does seem like a push-over and She is, however, very nice, selfless and caring. She's.....like a grandma figure!!!
