what happen to filling out??
well remember in the beginning of the play where jorge was always talking about how hedda is filling out nicely and we assumed that she was pregnant..so how come we never hear about her being pregnant nemore throughout the act??? is she really pregnant or not?? what are you thoughts??

that was an extra straight to the point blog...Well I don't think she was really pregnant because she killed herself because she had no control and if she was pregnant a kid would give her control wouldn't it??? Those are my thoughts so I don't really think she was pregnant but i wish Ibsen would tell us...cuz it is weird that it is only mentioned in the beginning.
i like how u said jorge instead of george. um, i dont know. i personally never thought that she was pregnant in the first place. when i first read the 'filling out' thing, i thought that hedda was just really skinny before and she gained a little weight during their vacation.
hedda's pregnancy is not mentioned again because being pregnant makes hedda seem like a "normal" and stereotypical woman that bares children and therefore fufills the role of woman at this time. hedda is not like other women, obviously. but she is not like other woman because she rejects what society expects and demands of herself and is not a typical woman, which means that she does not have to be pregnant so it is not mentioned again in the play.
