	SparkNotes: Hedda Gabler: Summary
		Jürgen Tesman and Hedda Tesman (nee Hedda Gabler) are newlyweds.
		Hedda tells Brack how bored she was on her honeymoon and how she has no special feeling for the house Tesman has gone to great lengths to buy for her, under the false impression that she desperately wanted to live there.
		Hedda does not tell him she has the manuscript; she simply gives him one of her pistols and tells him to have a beautiful death.

	CliffsNotes::Hedda Gabler:Book Summary and Study Guide
		Alving’s compliance with social conventions, Hedda finds no outlet for her personal demands; she is constantly torn between her aimless desire for freedom and her commitment to standards of social appearance.
		Refusing to submit to her womanly destiny, Hedda has such an unsatisfied craving for life that she is incapable of being emotionally involved with others.
		At the same time, Hedda was too ignorant and inexperienced to accurately evaluate Lövborg’s character; she regarded him not as a creature of reality, but as the person—and realization—of her adolescent quest for the romantic.

	Hedda steam (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Hedda Gabler (note the lack of married name) is often played as a crazed neurotic with a father fixation, a female raised by an authoritarian male to be both belle and boy, then painted into a societal corner where her sex renders her impotent.
		Sense of humor aside, Hedda's real tragedy, as Burton makes clear, stems from the fight to the death between her fierce impulsiveness and the cowardice that keeps her in chains of decorum.
		In act two, Løvborg insinuates himself so close to Hedda's back that only her bustle saves her from an indecency, and there is some convincing, if daring, flinging and shoving among Hedda, Thea, and the frantic Løvborg of act three.

		Hedda believes she is an independent woman who will never be at the mercy of others.
		Hedda Gabler was a girl raised by her military father, and he clearly imposed discipline and order in her young life while perhaps also instilling within her the desire for more than society was willing to grant her.
		Hedda Gabler was one sort of person, and she has been forced to become another as Hedda Tesman.

	Hedda's Steamed
		Hedda Gabler (in a translation by Douglas Hughes) is currently being given a splendid revival at the Arden under the direction of Terrence J. Nolen.
		It might, for example, be useful to think of Hedda's debilitating boredom as the direct result of her having been trained by her father to be completely ornamental.
		But for all that, it's still hard to explain the degree to which Hedda's boredom, envy and cowardice—all, arguably, socially conditioned—turn to malice and destructiveness, beginning with her challenge to the recovering alcoholic Lovborg to take a single cup of punch, and ending with symbolic baby-killing and actual assisted suicide.

		When Hedda is upset, she throws the blooms around and even staples a half dozen to the walls.

		He brings a danger to the role that's exciting, so much so that one might think Hedda would be overwhelmed by his flame compared to the other wet rags around her.
		As if Lane felt that to strengthen Hedda, he had to weaken everyone around her, the other women are mousy, especially Juliette Mariani's Mrs.
		The one unfortunate concession to the Peter Mills' small stage is the lack of an onstage piano, losing that constant reminder of Hedda's stifled and stagnant creativity.

	Hedda Gabler, Act IV
		To her, it would be a "burden." Hedda herself has no purpose, and the only meaning in her life is the affirmation of values (beauty, heroism, courage, and freedom) she expects from Lovborg's suicide.
		Lovborg is shot in Diana's boudoir with Hedda's gun, and Hedda is appalled at the possibility of having to testify in court with her.
		Hedda has lost control of her life--caught in the bourgeois Tesman circle and values, trapped by her own pregnancy and impending motherhood, and enslaved by Brack.

		Hedda was not only known for her hob-knobbing with Tinseltown's biggest names, and for getting the dirt before anyone else, but also for being ruthless when it came to dealing with those who displeased her, intentionally or otherwise.
		She is wearing a dark suit with a fox collar, pearls, and her hair in a long French twist.
		She is quickly interviewed by Hedda, and discusses her plans for the playhouse, then drives off in her electric cart to fulfill her duties around the studio.

		Hedda's sweeping dark and private personality, from her purposely bitter remarks to her burning up a saved manuscript, lets the reader in on some insight as to the constant turning and scheming that goes on in her mind.
		Many people view Hedda as a heroine who was trapped in a world that was not comparable to her train of thought;however I view her as a malicious implacable twisted woman.
		Hedda didn't prove to bite as loud as her bark because she finished herself off when she lost power and control of a situation in which she started.

		While Louella had the stronger newspaper affiliations, Hedda was more popular with the public, due to her breezy, matter-of-fact speaking style and her wry sense of humor; she also more flamboyant than Louella, given to wearing elaborate hats which cost anywhere from $50 to $60 each.
		Hedda's greatest influence was felt when the studio system controlled Hollywood and a mere handful of moguls wielded the power of professional life and death on the stars; the studios needed a sympathetic reporter of their activities, and thus catered to Hedda's every whim.
		Also, Hedda was a strident anti-communist, which worked to her benefit in the days of the witchhunts and fllists, but which made her sound like a reactionary harpy in the more liberal '60s.

		The character of Hedda herself is irreconcilable—witty and charming; idealistic and romantic; capable of great intelligence, even wisdom; but she is also banal, materialistic, snobbish and determinedly cruel.
		Hedda’s mother is never mentioned, and Hedda is disgusted, Plimpton says, "at all things human—death, mortality, illness, pregnancy, family." She imagines the young Hedda as "very much a tomboy.
		When Hedda rails against Tesman’s "penny-pinching world," she entirely exempts herself from considerations of how she came to be living with him in the first place.

		My intention in giving it this name was to indicate that Hedda, as a personality, is to be regarded rather as her father's daughter than as her husband's wife.
		The attempt to place Hedda's vine-leaves among Ibsen's obscurities is an example of the firm resolution not to understand which animated the criticism of the 'nineties.
		HEDDA talks to her in a whisper, and points towards the inner room.

	Scotsman.com News - Features - Looking for Hedda Gabler
		True, the idea of a good wife being likened to a decorative houseplant is perhaps a thing of the past, but Hedda Gabler is a play that goes beyond one particular issue or idea.
		But Hedda is not the only victim in this story; each character is trapped by their own fears and desires.
		And in Hedda, Ibsen creates a woman of mythic proportions, well equipped to lock horns with Phaedra or Clytemnestra, and in true tragic form he keeps the action in one place and the protagonist on stage throughout.

	Hedda Gabler, a CurtainUp review
		Hedda Gabler may think of herself as capable only of boring herself to death, but as played by Elizabeth Marvel, she's unlikely to bore anyone watching her smoky-voiced, sultry Hedda in the production currently at the New York Theatre Workshop.
		Those unfamiliar with the famously enigmatic, self-destructive anti-heroine are apt to scratch their heads over the occasional bipolar outbursts from Hedda as well as other visitors to the usually elegant parlor now transformed into a huge loftlike space.
		The beautiful Hedda is torn between a yearning for excitement and sexual fulfillment and the need to conform and adhere to a strict code of honor.

		The control Hedda exhibits, and the lengths to which she is willing to go, represent the potential for cruelty, and the longing for freedom inside us all.
		When Hedda's scheming is brought more closely to the forefront and her world begins to crumble around her, Keefe shines, and Hedda's descent is fascinating to watch.
		Perhaps intended to offset Hedda's coldness in the play's earliest scenes, Munnell's joviality is frequently distracting and often seems out of sync with the rest of the play.

		Hedda Gabler, published in 1890, was first performed in Munich, Germany, on January 31, 1891, and over the next several weeks was staged in a variety of European cities, including Berlin, Stockholm, Copenhagen, and Christiania (Oslo).
		It is almost as though the normally reserved and distant Ibsen had to exorcize his emotional attachment to Emilie by struggling to become yet more detached and objective in his art.
		Hedda Gabler's reputation steadily rose in the twentieth century, engaging the interest of many important actresses who found in Hedda one of the most intriguing and challenging female roles in modern drama.
