So in psychology, i'm learning about psychotic disorders. And as many have already said, Hedda definitely fits under this category. She is one of those "villains" who i believe seems to go completely insane as time goes on. Hedda seemed to be fine as we first started to watch the play. It seems that she becomes more insane because she loses control of everything. Hedda only seeks for her own way but everything doesn't always go how we want them do they? It kind of reminds me of the following words:
"Oh what a tangled web we weave, when first we practice to deceive." Does that sound familiar? ;) It's like Hedda is spinning her own little web and by the end of it, she gets all tangled up.
Hedda, on the other hand, made it easy to seem like the good person. It was easy to sympathize with her, but at the same time, I did not like her at all. She married a guy she did not love, still had feelings for the guy that did not profess his love for her either. It was like dreamed for a better life while settling for a simple one.
p.s i commented on Amanda's Post
I really like how you described Hedda's predicament as being a web. She seemed like she was trying to get so many other people tangled up that she did not even realize how tangled up she had gotten herself. I never really felt sympathy for her at all. She caused a man to shoot himself after making him break up with his girlfriend. And her plans never turned out like she wanted them to. All of plans of corruption that she tried to cause eventually led to her own downfall.
