Suggests that hedda was never truly a tesman. Suggests that she was moreso her father"s daughter rather than her husband"s wife. Pistols are a lingering symbol of her father. The play is about her identity as an autonomous woman, not as mrs. Stanislavski was his stage name that he got from his actor grandmother. The duke of saxe-meinegen toured to moscow and had a serious influence on. The duke"s dedication to historical accuracy and realism were the biggest influence.
