Hedda Gabbler Ideas
So, i am totally in love (yeah, not just luv, but LOVE) with this play so far!!! the problem is, being an IB Theatre 2 student, that means i totally wanna c this thing realized!!! like 4 real!!! someone in my crazy class has 2 do it 4 their independant project!!!!! it'd b gr8!!!! serious!!! and the best part, this is the FIRST (yeah, that big that i spelled it out) time i've EVER wanted to act!!! i 4 real wanna play Hedda!!! her character is really great. not in the "o, she's so nice way", but in the "wow, she's completely underhanded and ruthless!!!!" way! she actually reminds me a little of a girl in congress- any "senators" out there know who i mean?- i mean, in a not so great way. i don't really picture her like the playwright describes her though. i c Hedda being a tall red head with a turned up nose. she totally grew up a spoiled navy brat, her dad (in the realization in my mind) is an admiral who gives her everything she wants when he's home and yells at her mother for not doing so when he's not home. idk, that just seems to b the thing fer her to have grown up as, well, with the way she acts now. idk, i like it. the idea that this crazy, spoiled lady owns guns is GR8 2!!! like, she totally seems like the crazy lady who would shoot her husband for not doing what she wanted, or @ least rt now she does! dang, i gotta get back to reading!

Wow, first of all, I'm glad you love the play so much Talor. SERIOUSLY!!!!! Haha, you make me smile, Talor. But anyways, you called Hedda "underhanded and ruthless". I agree, but personally, I'd call her something else- fake. Which is why I don't like the character, because in my opinion, she's just a petty, shallow person who fakes love or friendship just to feed her own pathetic obsessions (i.e. gossip, material possessions). However, I think your physical description of her was very funny =) especially her upturned nose. lol
wow, those are strong words Laura!!! IDK, that's all I can say, wow. I spose she can be fake, that's y i said she reminded me of congress, everyone is fake in congress (the sport not the real one, well, maybe the real one, idk bout that, i've neva been there). I still have to say that i like her though cuz frankly, if she were a guy and did that ppl would say that they might not like her, but that she was getting the job done and done pretty well, so they kinda respect that. idk, i kind of think of her like martha Stewart, ppl think she's a b*%$h but she's just like Donald Trump and ppl think he's ok.
Yeah, I totally see what you're saying about martha stewart & donald trump. Sometimes people do treat female character more harshly than male characters. But at the same time, if George treated Hedda the way that she treats him, wouldn't you say that he was a bad husband and that he was demeaning her, etc? So maybe it goes both ways.
idk. The idea of an abusive relationship is something that's hard for me 2 wrap my mind around cuz mine's so unconventional 2 begin with. idk. if George did it to Hedda I'd prolly say that he was a little rediculous, but maybe he's justified, we dunno. fer that time period, it would have been the way a guy was xpected 2 treat a woman. idk. i really don't.
