Okay, okay...

So it's been a while
but after reading all of Hedda Gabler, I've got a few things to say

one, Hedda really is not all that bad...I mean in the beginning I thought she was this great strong person but throughout reading the play my assumption was deff wrong.
two, George is SOO annoying! I don't care how he speaks with "uh" and all, it's the fact that he's so dumbfounded and clueless all the time that he pisses me off--he reminds me of my brother, haha, maybe that's why?
three, Aunt Julie should stop worrying about everyone but herself for once...Hedda CLEARLY doesn't like her and that poor old woman is in denial.
four, I hate Judge Brack! He's so devious...man I know Hedda is a !&^!#@ but I feel Judge Brack is worse for blackmailing her like that..
five, I dont care much for Thea and Lovborg it wasn't even interesting when he killed himself but when Hedda did I was like freaking out. But I got really dissappointed when Ibsen didn't at all delve into it.

All in all, the play was pretty good I enjoyed the characters but I don't think this play will stay with me like The House of Bernarda Alba did. I felt like the play was really quick and the characters weren't very interesting..except for George haha. He just made it funny and without him, the play wouldn't be the same.

I wasn't as annoyed with Tesman at the beginning as a lot of people seemed to be. He seemed kind of unsure but I think he was just more down to earth due to his wonderful relationship with Aunt Julie than anyone else in the book
