Posted: 10/27/06 at 5:08pmDot was actually a strong woman while George was the weak one. George was so repressive that he showed his love to her in his painting. Everything he drew: the monkey, the hat, etc. were actually refer to Dot in the painting. The hat was what she wore and the monkey was hers. It's regretful that the act "finishing the hat" was actually "showing passion to his mistress" while Dot misunderstood that George was cold to her. She had her dignity and she said to herself that "she have to move on!" Such a strong determination spoiled the whole romance. DOT didn't know that, in fact, the whole painting George was working on was full of DOTS - a memorial or an appreciation to his lover.

Re: Dot liking George's painting. I think she likes the FACT of his painting. It's not a high-brow intellectual appreciation of his art, it's the fact that it exists in a capacity that she cannot understand.
Sondheim stole my life somewhere along the line. I am either listening to his music, analyzing his lyrics, or thinking about his shows.
