| Character | Description |
|---|---|

| George Tesman | George Tesman is a cheerful, naïve scholar in his early 30s. His middling abilities as a historian are overshadowed by his near-obsessive enthusiasm for the subject. Read More |
| Mrs. Elvsted | Mrs. Thea Elvsted is an old schoolmate of Hedda Gabler's and a few years younger than her. Sentimental and vulnerable, she quickly lets her guard down and admits Hedda into her confidence. Read More |
| Judge Brack | Judge Brack is a polite but amoral man in his mid-40s and a longstanding admirer of Hedda Gabler's. His fondness for her takes a darkly manipulative turn toward the end of the play. Read More |
| Eilert Lövborg | Eilert Lövborg is a youngish historian whose talent and vision greatly exceed those of his rival George Tesman. An alcoholic in recovery, Eilert finds his fresh start jeopardized after Hedda Gabler tempts him to drink. Read More |
| Miss Juliana Tesman | Miss Juliana Tesman is a pleasant and considerate woman of about 65. After her brother's death, she raised George Tesman as her own child; thus, she finds his marriage a bittersweet occasion. Read More |
| Berta | Berta is the middle-aged housekeeper for George Tesman, whom she has looked after since childhood. Quiet and unassuming for the most part, she serves mainly to introduce people in their comings and goings at the Tesman residence. |
