Hedda controls people to get what she wants. For example, she manipulates thea to obtain information about lovborg. and before that, hedda manipulated lovborg and learned about the masculine mind. however, she may be controlling people because she is bored or because she is from a family of a higher social class and feels the right to control others. whichever way it is, hedda believes the people around her should listen to her and that she should be the center of attention. ironically, the play ends with no one, not even george, listening or wanting to listen to her. George even tells hedda to stop playing the piano and he pays more attention to thea, seeing as they are both working on the manuscript. hedda only gains attention after she shoots herself and doesn't even get much attention at that. she gets a few "imagine that!"s and cries of surprise but not much grieving.

nombre? really?
and to summarize your blog: Hedda's a b, yo. yea i agree if i were hedda and i could see all the people after i killed myself go "imagine that shes dead" and then go back to work id be SO pissed off.
yes i agree Hedda really wants control throughout the entire play and she is a very manipulative person to get what she wants with both Eilert Lovborg and Judge Brack especially, but she ends up not getting the control she wants of herself resulting in her killing herself...
Hedda wants complete control and dominance over the other characters as it seems as though she has lost all self-control. She does become very manipulative and always gets what she wants. Hedda always wants everything her way. Hedda is the most controlling individual in the play who holds authority over all the other characters.
