Imagine That... Uh?

Tesman is by far the most comical character in the play. I don't think we realized until we got towards the end of the play the importance of Tesman's role. At first Tesman seems naive and ignorant. However, the man is very powerful whether he realizes it or not. Hedda only wishes she could do what she wanted to do and have what she wants when she wants it. But the truth of the matter is that Tesman totally runs that household. Why? He's got the money Baby! Not only is Tesman powerful, but entertaining. His constant uhs.. and huhs are hilarious. Tesman may think that he needs a little reassurance but in reality, Tesman has everything under control. Hedda tried to undermine his power by carrying pistols and burning Lovborg's manuscript but at the end of the day, Hedda still ended up with the short side of the stick. Tesman expects the best out of those around him and tries his best to please everyone. I like the man. How bout you...uh?

Tesman trying his best to please everyone around him? Yea right imagine that? Lol just kiddin but Tesman seems to be more concerned with himself and his research. When he says imagine that he is thinking of possibilities that can happen. He is constantly living in a dream state instead of focusing on reality and he is always dreaming of what he wants instead of going out and getting it. Imagine that Aliyya...uh
