Hedda Gabler: Mr. Right and Mean Girl
paragraph1
Mr. Right?
Many readers believe that Hedda would have been happy if only she married Lovborg instead of Tesman. She herself responds to Brack’s suggestion of her love for Tesman, “Faugh–don’t use that sickening word!” Do you feel the answer to Hedda's unhappiness is marriage to the Right Man? Would Lovborg be the Right Man? Is there a Right Man for Hedda, or is the thought of Mr. Right conventional sentimentalizing? Who would even be asking the question about whether love and marriage would solve all the problems if our unhappy main character were male? What might Hedda want rather than a happy marriage to Mr. Right?
paragraph 2
Mean Girl
The Urban Dictionary describes a "mean girl" as follows:
1) Girls who are bullies and use "girl aggression" (nasty comments, trickery, deceit, excluding people from events, spreading rumors, stealing boyfriends,etc.)… These girls are often popular because everyone is either afraid of them or wants to be like them. They tend to have armies of followers ("friends"/wannabees) comprising their clique. However, few people actually like them for who they are.
Is Hedda a mean girl? Is there anything sympathetic about her? How do you as an audience member feel about her?
