There are many differences between the original play Hedda Gabler by Henrik Ibsen and the screen adaptation. Just the scene itself is described differently in the play than shown in the movie. The drawing room furniture is shown to be arranged in a different manner than described in the play. The room is supposed to be large and spacious, but seems more condensed together in the film, plus the piano was not shown either, which takes out the part where Hedda has a problem with the piano. Everything in the movie is also quite sped up, assuming just to fit the plot into the allotted time. However, some parts from the play were taken out of the film, such as when Tessman was walking his aunt out the door, there was a line taken out of Hedda’s dialogue, but instead her husband just tells Hedda to be nicer to the aunt. The characters are better portrayed in the written play because the words are able to describe the characters more thoroughly. Hedda’s personality and attitude towards the other characters are better shown in the play than the film, especially her attitude toward Aunt Juliana. The discomfort and constant disregard toward her is not really shown in the film compared to the play. Hedda is shown as a more negative character in the text, but this cannot truly be seen in the film adaptation. She lacks any kind of proper affection or care for anyone in the family, including her husband, which is better shown in the movie, compared to the play. Overall, the film is a good representation of the play in many aspects.
