[in an outburst of mingled doubt and joy.] hedda! oh, is this true? but—but—i never knew you show your love like that before. fancy that! (hedda gabler; act 4, p. 129) to what does hedda compare lovborg with the metaphor in her dialogue with tesman?

Hedda compares Lovborg to any common man. She does not refer to him as a hard competitor from the academic world.

Explanation:

"any one should throw you into the shade..." Hedda is not a well-meant character. She is ambitious and she does not want to be married to a an unsuccessful man. The word " any one" means any person from the common. " ..to throw into the shade" means to insult him by stopping Tesman from getting a better position in the academic world.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
