#3: Deceitful George

In many of the episodes we have seen thus far, George is very deceitful when trying to get his way. For instance in “The Pitch” while George and Jerry are trying to “pitch” the ideal of a sitcom to NBC, George says that he wrote a Broadway show. This lie was said to make NBC feel a bit more comfortable with his writing skills, but it was false. Later in the collaborating episode “The Ticket”, after being asked about the play he lies’ again saying that many of his files were lost after he moved, which was definitely a lie. Although those deceitful ways may seem to be minor, George has taken some of his shenanigans even further in “The Fatigues” which he lies to his employer, his Doctor and lastly Jerry’s girlfriend.

I am not one to watch many television shows, but the one character that comes to mind that is very deceitful is Karen from WILL AND GRACE. Whenever Karen was around there would be a lie to accompany her. From the beginning she lied about her age, her sexuality, and it is said that Karen might not be her real name, because she is hiding from the feds! The one thing that she was mostly deceitful about was her wealth. To impress others around her she lived up to her reputation by living the fabulous life, which she could not afford. Although many of these fabrications are wrong both characters win, which is why we will see more of this trait throughout the semester from George.
