《Who27s Afraid of Virginia Woolf》人物分析
Whos Afraid of Virginia Woolf? --------Characters Four Characters George? Martha? Nick? Honey? George George is an associate professor of history at a college in the New England town of New Carthage.

He turns the tables by abusing their guests in ways similar to Marthas treatment of him, by chiding them for their weaknesses and revealing their hidden secrets.In the end, however, George proves himself stronger than Martha. His decision to kill their imaginary child- a fantasy he and Martha have shared privately can be viewed as an act of heroism or as an act of revenge. Whichever approach you favor, it is clear that G
