The play Hedda Gabler can best be associated with modern society and events in a few key ways. By knowing these ways we as readers can reach a new level of understanding vital to the play. The entire class system in this play is somewhat similar to the system we see today. The wealthy do not really need to work and the middle class do. Throughout the play we see George Tesman concerned with financial burdens, while we see characters such as Hedda on the other hand acting care free when it comes to money.
From what i see in this play Hedda loses interest in money and finances when the idea of power comes back into her mind. The very thought that Hedda could possibly control anyone at any time made her factinated and led her to ultimately controlling another human being's life and in this case the life was Lovborg's.

this is a good comparison. i never really thought of this before. maybe because hedda didn't have to concern herself with how to support herself financially, she never really developed an interest in anything and became obsessed with power.
You raise a really good point and kudos for writing from a Marxist perspective because I've never been able to do that with any book. I agree with Rose as well in that Hedda's fascination with power and control could have easily stemmed from her lack of any sort of creative outlet as a child and also from her experiences (or lack thereof) as a lonely women in a big house.
