Pepe Vs. Judge Brack
After reading both stories, I can see a resemblance between Judge Brack, mentally, not physically. Both share a niche for controlling women, whether it is voluntary or not. Pepe has control over the women of HBA ( house of Bernarda Alba) because he provides them with a way out, which they all want. SO, in a sense, Pepe controlled their fate because the some of the women depended on him to escape from Bernarda. Likewise, Judge Brack has control over Hedda once he takes the pistols away from her. Yet Judge taking away the power of Hedda was fairly easy due to the fact that there are same person. They are both manipulative, controlling, and have control, well as for Hedda, she doesn't anymore.

Very nice comparison. I'm learning a lot of things that I had let fly over me during the readings. I am very glad that I am reading these now. Is Hedda running away from Geroge and Judge Brack is the escape she wants though? That is more a rhetorical question becuase the answer , at least for me, is no. She hates Brack. It is interesting that the women want a way out and actually try to take that, instead of Hedda who ops for a much differnet approach to the escape scene.
