Hedda blogs: 1

I noticed how much this play deals with the past lives of the characters, and how they ultimately cannot bury them. Lovborg is a good example of this. He was on his way to fame, but seeing Hedda again brought back his old self, and it ruined him in the end. Hedda cannot escape her past either, which involves both Brack and Lovborg. The judge manages to manipulate the past and the present together to gain power over Hedda, which is her downfall. Maybe he planned the reunion of Lovborg and Hedda?
