Ibsen over????!! no!!!!!!!!

I feel that Ibsen was a very interesting story to read due to the fact that it had many underlying themes and subjects that needed to be examined. Power, manipulation, control, family ( aunt Juile, Rina, and George), history of love ( thea and lovborg, mrs elvsted and George)....objects as a use of power, explanation of the house in detail, manuscript, etc. are all things that made this story as exciting as it was, and sadly it is over. Once again, this story reminds me of the theme " all ruling dictatorships must come to an end", and this is exemplified by Hedda, who went from being powerful and controlling ( like Bernarda), to less powerful and very lost b/c she has no power.
