External+characters+affecting+Nora+and+Hedda

==Some may say that external characters drive Hedda and Nora to insanity. If this is true or not, External characters are a huge part of both plays. They help develop the plot and show different main character characteristics. Jurgen tesman is completely love struck for Hedda, but his incompetence leads to her overall death. This is also seen with Torvald, although it is not incompitence that is his Achille's heel it is his need for success. This is just scraping the surface with how characters affect both plays. Actually if you look at all of the[| characters]you may notice that in both plays similar characters play similar roles. For example Judge Brack in "Hedda Gabler" is similar to Dr. Rank in "A Doll's House". Both Characters are family friends and have weird relationships with eachother. Judge Brack even is in love with Hedda Gabler like Dr. Rank is with Nora! Obviously Ibsen created similar external characters to show us that main characters react differently. == == ==
