Question

Late in act 2, Hedda tells Thea that she wants “for once in my life to have power to mould a human destiny.” Does Hedda have that power? If not, why not? If so, how does she use it?

Answer 1

Answer:

Hedda actually doesn't have the power to do so, and this is because she isn't even happy in her own life she is a very unhappy and mean person. I think that she should worry about molding her own destiny before worrying about others. Throughout this story she is portrayed as a selfish type of character, she often tries to live through other people's lives instead of her own and brings problems to the people she interacts with.

Explanation:

Answer 2

Hedda doesn't have such a power at all, because she is not even satisfied by her own life- if she could she would mould her destiny. Throughout the whole story this nasty character is trying to live through other people instead and that brings a lot of troubles to all the people surrounding her.
