George, to me, is a very weak man (if he should even be called that). Besides the fact that he is weak, he is always unsure of himself, or so it may seems. He is blind to the true personality of Hedda. He doesn't even realize the fact that she messes around with other people. What Hedda saw in him from the get-go, i do not know. She probably jus wanted someone who she knew she would hav power and control over.
