I don't believe that Hedda truly loves Tesman because her behavior towards him and Lovborg are peculiar. She seems polite and reserved to Tesman and he seems oblivious to her actual feelings. For example, the dialogue exchange between the two at the end of Act one almost implies that Hedda expects material security from Tesman. She never calls Tesman by his frist name until act 4 and she is never physically close to tesman in the scenes in which they are together. she is pregnant as well but she does not want ms. tesman to know that she is going to have George's child. This implies that she is ashamed of having a child with tesman. Hedda also seems to have feelings for Lovborg because she was very interested in hearing about his well-being.

wow your font is real small...also to actually comment i agree, hedda is a you-know-what and selfish too. she just manipulates others to feel in control, but i really dont feel sorry for her.
I agree...HEdda is fake to me, and it seems like she only wants Tesman for money or control although she never really gets that. I agree with Claire that she manipulates others to feel in control, because she lacks control, and she uses George for this-I don't feel she really loves George at all-I don't know who she really loves...it could be nobody
I'm pretty sure she's annoyed by Aunt Julianna presence, which may have played a role in her reluctance to admit her pregnancy, but I also believe she wants to pretend it will go away, sort of like it came too soon in the marriage and too much change is bad for her.
