George is too unsure of himself.

I believe that George is very unsure of himself. It seems that he needs confirmation on everything he thinks for himself. Whenever he has an idea or thought, he shares it with someone and says "huh?" or "uh?" He does that as if he needs someone to say yes or no to make his ideas and thoughts complete. Why is that? I can see if he asked for an opinion every now and then, but after almost every statement he makes? It makes him seem very unsure and insecure.

Is it just me, or George pretty stupid?

I don't know exactly wats going on yet, but I think Tesman is rather stupid. He doesn't seem to notice anything that is going on around him. It is pretty obvious that Hedda treats him wrong, but he seems not to notice. It is pretty obvious that Hedda was trying to get rid of him so that she could she could talk to Mrs. Elvsted alone. It is pretty obvious that Miss Tesman or Mrs. Elvsted don't like Hedda very much and vice versa, but George just really seems to not notice. Either this stuff is really going over his head, or he's just over looking it to keep things cool and dandy in his life. I, personally, think he's stupid, especially with that "uh" and "huh" stuff.

Hedda

Excuse my language, but Hedda is scandalous. I don't think she likes Tesman at all. Just from Act 1, I can't be completely sure what she wants with him, but I would guess it has something to do with money. She treats him like dirt, in my opinion. She never addresses with terms of endearment that husband and wife normally use, like honey, baby, etc. I just have one question about that... Why in the heck doesn't Tesman or Miss Tesman seem to notice the ill treatment that Hedda gives Tesman and everyone else for that matter? I wonder where this treatment is going to lead in the rest of the book....
