First Section of Act 1

I am up to page 234 and that is just when Ms. Elvestad or however you spell it arrived and
currently i have am analysing the disscussion between Hedda, Aunt Tesman, and Tesman.
The characters appeared to be forcing themselves to get along aside from the two Tesman's.
Hedda and the Aunt didn't seem to get along all that well, and the fact that Hedda insulted the Aunt certainly did not make any of the matters better. Although some would say it was boring i believe that this conversation is curcial to the play and how it is set up. After just reading this section I have a good first impression on the three main characters and have several guesses on how the action will unfold but for now I will keep those ideas to myself and just keep watching on how this play unfolds. I see Ms. Tesman becoming a bit of an annoyance as the play progresses and she will definately be up to date on everything going on in the household because she strikes me as clever and persistant.

bro... im just kiddin

any way, i agree with the notion that hedda and julie dont get along well. in this section of the book u see alot of passive agression on heddas part and i think that julie doesnt appreciate it but lets it go because she wants george to be happy

I agree that this conversation sets the tone of Hedda and her relationship with the aunt. It characterizes Hedda as a woman who doesn't care about things that don't pertain to her. She doesn't want anything to do with the conversations with aunt julie. It's so rude to me-I don't like Hedda-she seems rude and disrespectful especially in this conversations when she pays no attention to Aunt Julie. It doesn't seem as Hedda is in the marriage for the happiness of her and George, just the happiness of what she can gain from the marriage.
