hedda Gabler Act 2

If you read the stage direction closely you began to notice that the piano has been moved into the inner room, which increasingly becomes Hedda's space. i believe that it reflects her self-containment and her separateness from herself and others. Hedda enjoys Brack's company and she engages in a verbal argument with him and, even jokes with him for the first time in the play. Her rejecting Brack has caused her to be called sexually repressed which affects her character.
