Hedda Vs. Bernarda

Hedda and Bernarda are the two leading ladies of the books we read. Bernarda is a dictator in her house. She controls the lives of her children and everyone else around her. She is a lot different than Hedda because during the book she appears to be somewhat out of control and in the end we see how she maintains her control and the author alludes to the fact that she will continue to have that control after the book was over. Hedda on the other hand. Appears to be in control in the beginning and at the end we see she never really was. And at the end of the book she ends her own life. Another major difference is Bernarda is a mom, and that is something Hedda (although she may of been in the near future) never became.
