It's a Boy! It's a Girl!

My mom's making tacos






and I think Hedda is pregnant!
Actually, I know she is.

If you haven't watched my artistic response video, you wouldn't understand haha.

But anyway, she seriously is because of the fact that Aunt Julie keeps hinting at it and she's just in denial.

George on the other hand, doesn't have a clue which pretty much sums up the reason why he never has a clue about ANYTHING.

Ibsen doesn't make it easy to determine whether Hedda is pregnant, but the characters' reactions in the play help us figure it out.

In act I George 'teases' Hedda about gaining weight with Aunt Julie. Of course Hedda denies it and gets really angry and defensive but from this point on we get hints that she indeed is.
Aunt Julie also states how she is very pleased that she got fatter lol and says, "oh how wonderful"

This is what i've been thinking about Ibsen doesn't make it easy to figure out at all. He kind of leaves it open to interpretation you know? I just wonder what the importance of the pregnancy, or possible pregnancy was.

Yeah I guess that's possible,

but the way I interpreted it was that she was really pregnant and I guess it was reinforced when we read the House of Bernarda because it gave us a clue that Adela might be pregnant as well showing how similar these characters are.
