    Some critics have been greatly troubled as to the precise meaning of Hedda’s fantastic vision of Lovborg "with vine-leaves in his hair."

    Oh, c’mon, Frank. That’s just unfair, the way you make fun of that accent. Hedda’s (well, Ibsen, ,really) speaking of the FINE WEAVE of his hair.

    They just love a nicely coiffed man,particularly one who can write about he environment, hold his liquor, and knows how to handle a pistol.

    In the absence of these things, as per the play, one must burn any remaining manuscripts and then kill commit suicide.

    Nicely coiffed hair, though, mitigates all. You will note that in any doll’s house, all the figures have nice dos. Oops, mixing my metaphors and Ibsen works. Would that render me An Enemy of The People? I’d talk about Peering, too, but decided a”gynt” it.
