Drown depicts the story of a minority youth hindered by normative ideologies. The story is infused with flashbacks to illustrate a self-discovery milieu. The writing style is vivid and illustrative, while also casual and without pretentious vocabulary and framework.

A story of an angsty youth trying to find an identity; Yunior develops a bitterness toward the world he fills. It is called “Drown”, and though Yunior is literally drowned by Beto, the story is about Yunior drowning himself. Yunior purposefully adheres to the norms of his surroundings, knowing that Beto is different. The second time Beto touches Yunior, Yunior does not object. A sign of being passive toward his heteronormativity. However, with the exception of the flashback riding in the car when Alex yells “Fuck you!” (page1247) and Yunior invalidates Alex’s remark by calling him lazy: Yunior fulfills the normative ideologies imposed by his surroundings.

In Act 3, TG Goerge home from the night out at the Brack’s house who had a party for his return from honeymoon.  They were up all night as Hedda was the one to send them all together Goerge, Brack and Lovborg.

In the morning next day (pg819)

George    {rurning around} Hedda  { comes nearer.} What in the world — Up so early, hm?

Hedda     Yes, up quite early today.

George    And here I was so sure you’d still be in bed. Just think, Hedda.

Hedda     Not loud. Mrs. Elvsteds lying down in my room.

George    Has Mrs.  Elvisted been here all night?

Hedda      Yes.  No one came to pick her up.

George     No. no, they couldn’t have.

Hedda      {shuts the door of the stove and gets up} So, did you have a jolly time at the judes?

George      Were you worried about me?

Dedda       No, that would never occur to me.  I asked if you had a good time.

Hedda has no interest or cares about Goerge’s night.  Although George  shares everything with her as she might care to know.  George shows her the manuscript Lovborg that dropped them off at the party and those are the only copies, as he admits he is little jealous of his creation.  Hedda in another hand,  only cares to know if Lovborg was wearing a vine leaves in his hair while he was reading from his new upcoming book.   As she gives the an envelope from Aunt Juliana, George finds out that Aunt Rina has passed away.   George begs Hedda to go with with him, but she doesn’t listen and gets away by saying I can’t see sick or dead people.

In act 4

Hedda’s powerful misbehavior destroys everyone apart.  As Lovborg turns to Hedda’s house drunk to tell Mrs. Elvisted he lost the manuscript, and she must go home he doesn’t need her anymore. Mrs. Elvisted is all sad as she calls the script a child.   Lovborg tell Hedda Mrs. Elvisted was in that book.  He leaves to after, and Hedda gives him a gun to shoot himself as she advises him “In beauty, Eilert Lovborg. Promise me that” (page 827) he thanks her and leaves, As she goes in and burns his manuscript.  When George asked her about the manuscript. She tells him that she burned them all, and he puts her in a spot for the first time, but then she turns everything around by saying she burned them because she was concerned about him.  George is so naïve and innocent that believes her.  Later on Mrs. Elvised shows up at their house saying something must have happened to Lovborg; moments later Brack comes to give the bad news about Lovborg’s death.  Everyone seems devastated by the news except Hedda.  Moments later George and Mrs Elvisted start looking the notes she brought in from Lovborg’s book.   Hedda and Brack go into the garden to talk.  Brack thinks that Hedda has something to do with Lovborg’s death as he knows that Hedda has a pistol at home, when she was asked, she gets all worried.

Dedda    Have you got it.

Brack      No, the police have it.

Hedda    What will the police do with that pistol?

Brack      Try to track the down the its owner.

Hedda doesn’t like to have other people put her in place.  She likes to keep control and command people around her not another way around.  This time she is worried as Brack knows that is her gun in (page 837)

Brack   Well. Fortunately, you have nothing to worry about as long as I keep quiet.

Hedda  (Looking up at him.) So I’m in your power now, Judge. You have a hold over me from now on.

She walked away from him not happy.  She went inside and asked George if they need anything; he doesn’t pay attention to her that much as she walks out saying I won’t bother you again.   She leaves and shoots herself in the garden. You felt sad and disturbed by her behavior.  It was a hard for her to be married to George when she had no feeling for him at all and she picked on everyone else because that fulfill her bordness.

After reading act I.  You find out Juliana and Berta are visiting George and Hedda after they honeymoon.  George is Juliana’s nephew.  Juliana and her sister took care of him awhile he was growing up; as Geoge’s father passed away.  Berta is Goerge’s and Hedda’s housekeeper now.  You can tell she is not happy with Hedda as she has already rules set up around the house.  The newly couple are sleeping when They arrive, Goerge comes down and happy to see his aunt as later Hedda comes as well.  They aunt wants to everything about their trip and plans you get the feeling that Hedda doesn’t like her and can’t wait for her to leave.  When Juliana leaves and George are saying good-bye to each other outside she goes in and can’t stand their talk in (789).

Hedda has a way of making people feel bad about themselves as she picks on them.  A former classmate Mrs. Elvsted shows up at their house to talk to George about her marriage.  She turns out that used to go to school together with Hedda and Hedda used to make fun of her and her clothes.

As Goerge write a letter for Mrs Elvsted to send to her husband; Hedda keeps her company by asking her all these question about her marriage.  She makes her feel awful by being married to an old man who has over twenty years apart and top of that she takes care of his kids with his previous marriage.
