wears my hat?

The hats in the play show differences between classes. Hedda makes fun of Miss Tesman's hat out of pure enjoyment for herself. But it does show that tesman comes from a more poor background than hedda. When the judge comes to the tesman house and Lovborg too, they wear hats that show of their status and superiority as well. hedda makes a big fuss about how tacky Miss tesman's hat is, she's worried about how people would think or say if they saw that hat lying in their house. This actually offended Miss Tesman. Commenting on her hate made her whole attitude shift to happiness to embarrassment.

Hats are really important and Ibsen really knows how to use them to characterize his characters.
