Hedda Gabler

             The more I read and look into Hedda Gabler the more I like it
             and appreciate Ibsen's efforts. It is kind of a pre-modernistic soap
             opera. Each character exhibits a complex set of traits, some good and
             some wicked. All the traits play off of one another and create depth
             The work seems to be far beyond Ibsen's time. it has more than
             enough drama, suspense and mystery to be transformed to a screen
             in the twenty first century. He somehow understood how to make
             characters alive and more dimensional and more appealing despite
             their sometimes purposeful mischief.
             His carefully created setting also lays hand to his detailed
             masterpiece. Every line, every thought propels his plot and fits like
             the pieces of a puzzle. H1e must have known the end before he wrote
             the beginning to make all the details precise.
             Possible he knew this women, Hedda. Could characters be made
             up so to have the flaws of hers? Maybe he saw in himself Tesman or
             Jorgen, maybe they too were real people.
             Although this is a wonderfully entertaining and thought
             provoking play I really feel that analyzing it more than I already have
             will take away some of the effect. I think I have written everything I
             have to say about Hedda Gabler, but I hope to see this play made into
             a blockbuster movie sometime in my life.
