Brack vs. Hedda

Hedda and Brack are the two main characters that are looking for control in Hedda Gabler, however they both have very different ways of gaining that power and control. Hedda is very brash and takes a very forward approach. She is used to getting what she wants, and does not try to hide her distain of others. She immediately expects to be able to gain the control and power over others with no thought or consequence. Brack on the other hand, has a completely different approach. He fools his victims, gets friendly and invades their life before stealing control and power out from under them. Most of the people he holds control over don't even realize it because they hold trust in him and consider him one of their friends. This causes the contrast between Hedda and Brack, because while they both want control and power, only Brack is successful in gaining it.
