Discuss the character triad of Tesman, Lovborg, and Judge Brack. Explain each character’s role in the triad and how they foil ea
Contact [7]

Judge Brack is a friend of Tesman and his wife, a person who goes to their house a lot. He constantly puts himself into the business and affairs of the tesman, and can even say that with ulterior motives (interest in hedda, tesman's wife). Tesman, for his age, is naive and foolish, always trying to please Hedda, he competes for a professorship, and Brack passed on information about it, to lend him a hand and help him. All this with a hidden desire, the desire to approach Hedda. Lovborg in this triangle, is Tesman's biggest competitor in the academic world. At some point in this story, it is explicit that he and Haddad had a relationship. In that case, the three of them are connected to one person, Heddad. Tesman is aware of the competition with Lovborg, but does not know anything about Judge brack. The role of each of them is 3 men in love with the same woman. Tesman is the one close to Hedda, Judge brack is the one trying to be in the middle of their relationship, and lovborg hides an old relationship with her.

How is the word choice regarding the parents’ surname significant in sleeping
Svetach [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

<u>Winter symbolizes cold, still, fruitless time of no change, when things aren't born, renewed, or changed.</u>

By naming the two characters, Mr. and Mrs. Winter by this season, the writer symbolizes the coldness and childlessness in their life. It seems that they lost the child, but they approached the grief from the calculated, rational point -<u> not acknowledging the loss and emotions, and continuing to act rationally on the outside as if nothing is happening.</u>

<u>This can be connected to the coldness and stillness of the winter, the snow that covers all the flora and vegetation, and seems to last forever in the icy embrace. </u>
