As one always does with tragedies, one can't help thinking 'Why can't they just be nice to each other', but of course it wouldn't be a tragedy if they did that! Tragedies are mostly about personality flaws coinciding towards a fatal ending - Hedda has plenty of those.
I remember almost every word, as we did it in English in about 1965 (taking turns to read it through) - I had a very good teacher called Crawley who loved reading through plays with us - we did Hedda, and quite a few Bernard Shaw plays too.
