Hedda Gabler (Dover Thrift Editions: Plays) Paperback – July 1, 1990

I had to read this for my literature class and found this to be quite entertaining! There is a great video of this book on you tube where you can watch this play. It follows the book almost verbatim. I truly enjoyed this read!

Play was great, but scary because there are several women in my life that are Hedda Gabbler so it was like reading an autobiography at points. So reading was great and shipping was great as the book arrived in flawless condition and not too long of a waiting period either, and of course, my philanthropic side liked that the pages were made from recycled paper. Overall, a 5 star experience.

I love the play! I hadn’t read it since college, so I’d forgotten quite a bit. And the Dover Thrift version is worth it—I’m going to get a class set for my students!

Had to read for school, it didn't not suck.

This is my favorite play in the world. It came in great condition and is the perfect small size I need. Great value.

Many people view Hedda as a heroine who was trapped in a world that was not comparable to her train of thought;however I view her as a malicious implacable twisted woman. Nothing in which she did suprised me at all. I felt no remorse in her passing but rather a deliberate sigh of relief. The only thing she ever had to offer was sarcastic insults and low blows to one's intelligence. At the age of 29 Hedda possed the strife and iniquity of a woman twice her age.Hedda lives in a mans world having been raised by her father who was militant. She strives not to let being a woman hinder her from lifes adventures, so she goes things that most men do. She has a nick for blowing things up and anything that gets in her hands is destroyed. She made all women in her presence succomb to her aggressivenss, all men fell prey to her wit and beauty.Hedda married Tesman to appear as if she was doing something with her life. He may have been inherently smart but he was naive to the ways of Hedda. Lovburg was a smart man and he could carry on a descent conversation with Hedda but he was pathetic in a sense. It seemed as if he lead a double life and I viewd him as being a drifter. The only person who was on her level of equal intelligence truly was Judge Brack. He understood her and read her like a book; they were literally the same person. He did find her escapades to be quite amusing but at the same time he kind of held a grudge towards her amybe from some past rendezvous.In the end his name Judge took total effect. He held Hedda's fate in his hand and she was not about to let him win that easily. Hedda didn't prove to bite as loud as her bark because she finished herself off when she lost power and control of a situation in which she started.

good book, well made. needed for college

I really enjoyed reading this book and discussing it in class. All the characters are interesting and not full of life! Lol you'll see what I mean!
