Tesman annoying you, uh?

So I'm done reading Hedda Gabler, but I'll keep my blog posts chronological to where we are in class as not to give anything away.
But what I really want to talk about is Mr. Tesman. Through act one, he comes off as a pretty nice guy, wanting the best for his new wife, Hedda. It's clear that he cares for everyone introduced in the act, his aunts, Hedda, his friends, and thats just great, but... he has this incredible habit of forming everything he says into a question, ending in either "uh?" or "hm?" I can't stand this, he just won't stop groaning and humming. And then when he's not asking questions, he's exclaiming exclamations, imagine! uh, hm, imagine, uh, hm, imagine, over and over and over. his reasoning for all of this? maybe he likes hearing other peoples feelings on different situations, and maybe he says "imagine" all the time because he thinks life is incredibly exciting and should be celebrated in this way. either way, i find his repetition to be just that, repetitious, especially for an "accomplished author" planning on writing a new book and becoming a professor. ugh?
