In Act One we learn that Hedda is a bossy and manipulative woman. We know that she is a woman like no other, she creates fear in the people around her. In Act two Hedda continues to be manipulative, and a woman out of her "place" or character. At the beginning of act two Hedda surprised me with her "playful humor." She aims her pistol at Judge Brack, showing that she is an exception to the rules because she aimed a pistol at a Judge of all people. By the end of Act two Hedda is able to reclaim her control over Lovborg, after we learn that she was apart of his past, she was the only person that appealed to him to share his secrets. Hedda convinces him to drink, knowing fully what a drink could do to him. This isn't something women are able to do, usually its a mans choice whether or not he wants to take a drink.
What is it that makes Hedda appear to be out of character?
