The whole play has built up to the moment where we find out how Sebastian died. If the story has no weight, we feel dissatisfied. But the truth about Sebastian's death is so horrible that it led George to completely change his character. He had been relentless in his attempts to seize power, but hearing the story made him give up completely. By understanding George before and after, we can see how significant Sebastian's death truly was, and that makes the show worth watching. All of the characters in Tennessee Williams' Suddenly Last Summer are important, but minor individuals like George should not be overlooked. By studying the evolution of George's character, more meaning can be gleaned from the play's climax, making it much more important to the audience and audience.
