This was one crazy act because it was all:
"Suprise"
"I'm a secret scum-bag"
"I wanna be the only cock in your hen house or I'll KILLyou"
"Ha, Ha creepy stalker dude"
"I love so much it breaks my heart"
To explain: So George is a super jerk-face because I think he's so insecure and scared of the fact that Lovborg's book is gonna be a thousand and one times better than hus that he purposely didn't give him the manuscript after he found it. The fact that he keeps saying,"for his sake ofcourse"<--- Ummm, No you're doing it for you and the money and prestige that is the professorship. I was hella heart-broken when this happened because I had so much faith in George's simplicity and naivity. How dare he be as manipulative and caniving as his wifee.[not a type-o I really want to bring back the word wifee] So anyway to Eilhertwho is just the sweetnest most compassionate man EVER!! The self-sacrifice. The love.OMG. The way he and Thea refer to the manuscript as their baby. Aww...
When he says"But killing his child-that's the worst thing a father can do" I almost cried because eventhough it was his future that Tesman stole, he was thinking about "the purity of Thea's soul". So selfless. I think they might be the only loving relationship in this play.
Brack- Can we say creep. He is so crazy. He wants to be the only one having an affair with Hedda? Really guy that's a life goal? That's something you want to fight for? The fact that he is so adiment(sp?) about it too is hilarious. You're not even supposed to be the cock in her life. And what was that craziness about not having to shoot tame roosters? Was that a threat against Tesman? I will call him a cock killer from now on for two reasons
- it's funny
- I'm actually that immature
Hedda McWhore-Meanie(it's one word) was just as vile in this act as the others. She actually got pleasure out of seeing Thea's heart broken in front of her. That's horrible. This is the first time I haven't loved Hedda. She's just unnecessarily mean. Like WTF you get no immediate reward from her pain. He doesn't love you. You don't love him. WTF<--- It's upsetting. When she's all "Now I'm burning-I'm burning your child" what does that mean? Is she the child? Is she going to hell? Why isn't she bothered by this?

1.Wifee will never come back, but good try though
2.Adamant is the correct spelling
3.I'm not willing to give up on George. I think I honestly believe that the reason he didn't give Lovborg his manuscripts was because Lovborg was hella wasted and was bound to lose it again and have it end up in bad hands. He probably is just an envious and manipulative jerk, but I'm holding out hope that he's just stoopid.
No, but you could argue both sides....well...three sides, because what if he genuinely was waiting to give it to him? Why cant anyone just e good without someone making conclusions about their intentions? I orginally though he was genuine and was waiting to give it to him , because he des seem so juvenile, naive, and innocent, however i do agree that you could argue that he is being manipulative and is using the manuscript to blackmail Lovborg. The only problem was that Lovborg kills himself. You can also argue that he is just stupid, so i guess they all can be proven...who knows???? To each their own...to each their own....... :)
Yeah, George's sudden turn around took me completely by surprise. I'm sort of clinging to the idea that if Hedda hadn't burned the manuscript, George would have returned it. He's such a likable character, I'd really hate for him to be another Judge Brack.
i agree with dorito, no wifee. and i think it's wifey. but brack, seriously wtf? one cock of the walk? he wants to be the swinger but he doesnt want his swings to swing if you get that. he wants hedda for himself but not himself for hedda. i think he's the most interesting of the characters but also the least likeable.
