LOL. Yes, I agree that the poster was being hyperbolic, but I could add a lot of other leading characters in renowned musicals and plays who basically remain stuck or, even if they move forward a bit, still behave in exceedingly frustrating and stupid ways most of a time. Is there anyone in The Seagull at whom you might not want to throw a shoe? And Long Day's Journey Into Night? Does Hamlet ever get "unstuck"? The most you can says is that he accepts death may come at any moment and he's ready for it. Not exactly uplifting. Anyway, although she is still trying to understand her father, Alison has moved on by making art out of her parents' lives.
