'Tesman is more of a woman than Hedda it seems'.I think thats one of the things Ibsen was trying to say. The roles are reversed in Hedda/Tesman.

What makes Ibsen fascinating is that his work points backwards to stuffy bourgeois front room dramas and the naturalistic style, but also forward towards Modernism, especially the individual who is alienated within a society that has no place for them. Hedda isn't feminine in a traditional way, but is that a crime? Would it be better if she were 'nurturing' like Aunt Julie? This play presents Hedda as subject to the desires of the men around her (even her father). Is that fair?

Tessman reminds me of a fem theatre instructor I know here at USC he kind of looks like him to very weird

Existentialism does NOT suggest that the only way to escape fate is suicide.If you want to take an existential interpretation of the play, you could say that the mandates of Hedda's society on women were restrictive and therefore with her libery obstructed, she is unable to find her own identity and meaning. Her sense of meaning rather is on pressed upon her.The only way to escape liberty is Liberty and Choice.

Hedda is such a bitch. If not a bitch..then certainly NOT feminine in anyway. There is NOTHING fertile about Hedda...she can only destroy. I just read the play for the first time and that is my initial reaction.Tesman is more of a woman than Hedda it seems.Naturalist theater is generally deterministic right? But this seems more existential...in the fact that the only way to escape fate is...suicide. ...?I guess it's obvious don't know what Ibsen is trying to say.Alcohol doesn't help.
