The pistol...

The pistol is a reoccuring object, but wht is it a symbol 4? Strength? Power? Self confidence? Death? All of the above? As Ms.D sayd it was really ironic how the pistol gave Hedda strength but also took her lyfe... and Lovborgs life 2... and the Lyfe of heddas unborn child! I think the pistol controlled Hedda more than she cud control the pistol! And when Ibsen describes Hedda her says her eyes are steel gray... And pistols r made of steel... Interesting.... how the windows to sumones soul could be the same color as sumthin that can strip sum1 of xistence...

Power and death definitely. Those were the means of her rise and power and also her fall. But i believe the strength wasn't as much... just because when it came down to it the strength overwhelmed her and was not in her control anymore but the mastermind Judge Brack

I think it is power and how easily it can be taken away. B/c as u can see, Brack took her "power" away very easily, and it left her feeling lost and confused. so i think power definitely.
