Who is Hedda Gabler - Tesman from Four Major Plays and what is their importance?

George Tesman is Hedda's husband. Described as an obsessive scholar, George is said to have spent the majority of his six-month honeymoon with his books, rather than with Hedda. George loves Hedda, but while she seeks freedom from the norms, Tesman wants nothing more than to abide by them.
