Thea

Thea is an interesting character!!!! she is characterized as being a meek but passionate woman. this brings me to question her relationship with her husband. because of her inability to say "no" (she gives in easily). i believe that she was convinced into her marriage with her husband, which turned out to be an unhappy one. on the other hand her passion led her to run away from home and follow her true love, Lovborg. thea seems to arouse jelousy in Hedda. i believe this is because thea has control over eilert, which hedda desires to have, also thea can be seen as more attractive than hedda. for example hedda has thin brown hair and thea has thick blonde hair.

That is so right! although she is characterized as a weak character she is super strong and gets what she wants, Think Lovborg and George.

thats true. she really couldn't say no to her husband and was basically forced into marriage, so where did her passion and will to separate herself from her husband come from?
