Okay, so everyone's pretty much agreed that Hedda did not truly love George. So my question is: did George really love Hedda? It's easy to say that he did, looking at the beginning of the book. He wants to give her everything she wants, and to even wait on her. But near the end, George seems to almost get bored with her when he decides to "work on the manuscript" with Thea and have her move in with Aunt Julie. He casually brushes off Hedda while he and Thea are busy and tells her to go spend time with Judge Brack instead. Also, at the very end when she kills herself, George does not seem particularly upset about it. In fact, although he seems surprised at the act, he doesn't actually sound sad about it, leading me to think that perhaps George doesn't really love Hedda as much as it first appears.
