The Manipulator

In readint the play Hedda Gabler, I was so intrigued by the way she was treating Mrs. Elvsted. Mrs. Elvsted comes to Hedda and George to tell them Loevborg was in town. Then Hedda wants to know what does Loevborg has to don with Mrs. Elvsted, so she pulls her into another room so she can interrogate her about Loevborg. Mrs. Elvsted tells her all she wants to know and how she thinks another woman stands in between them, an all along the other woman was Hedda. Hedda then wants to know what all did he tell Mrs. Elvsted about her, and she states, ' he said when he left her she tried to shoot him with a pistol' (Ibsen 1477). Hedda stated, "people dont do such things'(Ibsen1478). That was the same thing Judge Brack said after Hedda killed herself. Mrs. Elvsted was so naive, she didn't even know that she was in the company of the other woman feeding her all the informationn she wanted to know.
