Hedda's Control Part 1

Earlier for my artistic response, i portrayed Hedda as a puppet, with different characters controlling different parts of her. I put Judge Brack in control of her head. This is because he, by the end of the story, had complete control over her; he was able to control her every move and notion (except of course, her own death as seen). Then Tesman and Lovborg each had control over one of her arms and hands. This is because they both have direct affects and control over her actions through their relationship with her. Lovborg has control because Hedda is obsessed with gaining control over someone, namely him. Through this desire for control, Lovborg controls hedda bcause he has the power to decide whether she gets that control or not. Tesman on the other hand, has control because he is her husband, and gains power and control over her simply from that. Finally, Thea and the general have control over her feet. This is because though they do not have direct control over Hedda, instead, they prevent the amount of power and control she can have. Thea holds control over some of the characters that hedda wants control over, like Lovborg, and the general still holds control over her even though he is dead. Both of these characters prevent Hedda from gaining more control and power, and prevent her from moving forward.
