Hedda loves George?
I do not think Hedda truly loves George Tesman. Hedda is a very controlling character and she learns to manipulate the others including her newlywed husband, George. When Hedda married George I think she was just looking for an opportunity to have control over another person, taking into consideration the fact that she married a man who is of lesser value than herself. It seems as though Hedda must have everything her way, for instance the incident with the piano. When Hedda married George, I do not think she was doing it for love. Instead, Hedda was looking for control and authority. Hedda’s character seems to be stuck in the past. She is used to having the best things in life as she comes from a very wealthy background, being that her father was General Gabler. It seems to me that Hedda has loss all self-control and she looks to marriage as a way to regain power. On the other hand, I think George truly loves Hedda, or at least he wants to try and love Hedda. But, Hedda never shows true love or affection towards George and their marriage. Hedda is making it impossible for George to love her and she has high standards and she seems impossible to please.

I agree. Hedda probablly doesn't love George. She certainly doesn't get close with him- one wouldn't even be able to tell they're married.
