I was so much more impressed with this play than I thought it would be. Language still holds up all these years later, and of course the story is still so compelling.

I quite enjoyed this play. I don't really have much of an opinion of it. I just had a good time reading it, even though it wasn't my favourite.

This brought about such discontent amoung the students in my AP English class. Is Hedda selfish? Is she a trapped woman? Is she too harsh? Too "man-ish"? Too arrogant? Too willfull? Too much for a class of 17 year olds to handle? I quite enjoy Hedda's willfullness and her grating dialogue. Theatrical realism with touch of Ibsen's symbolic qulaities.
