Character Analysis of Dobie Gillis
Dobie is a self-conceited person. At the beginning of the story, Dobie firstly describes himself. “Cool am I and logical. Keen, calculating, perspicacious, acute --- I am all of these. My brain is as powerful as a dynamo, precise as a chemist's scales, as penetrating as a scalpel. And - think of it! - I am only eighteen” ( P.67). Dobie uses many commentary words to praise himself as an intelligent and smart person.
Dobie is a ridiculous and self-contradictive person. Dobie takes love as a qualification for being a lawyer in the future. He emphasizes many times that his desire for Polly is not emotional in the nature. But after teaching fallacies to Polly, he falls in love with this girl and determines to tell her. “It must be thought that I am without love with this girl. Quiet the contrary” ( P.82). Dobie has a ridiculous view of love and denies his own description of himself, which makes him a self-contradictive person.
Dobie is an emotional person and not that reasonable and cool as he thinks. Dobie “hides his exasperation” when teaching the girl logical, but gradually he loses control on his emotions. First, he feels desperate, and then his says sharply and sighs deeply. At last he is frowned by the teaching process. so Dobie is an emotional person and not that reasonable as he thinks.

Max Shulman
Max Shulman first delved into the world of writing as a journalism student at the University of Minnesota. Shulman was the author of several fairly well-received novels, including Rally Round the Flag, Boys! and Sleep Till Noon. He was also a co-writer, with Robert Paul Smith, of the long-running Broadway play, The Tender Trap, starring Robert Preston, which was later made into a successful movie. However, he is probably best remembered for his creation of the character "Dobie Gillis", who was the subject of a series of short stories compiled under the title, The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis, which became the basis for a CBS television series of the same name, and had previously been the subject of a film, The Affairs of Dobie Gillis (1953)

After his success with the Gillis character, Shulman continued to write. His humor column, "On Campus," was syndicated in over 350 collegiate newspapers at one point. A later novel, Anyone Got a Match?, satirized both the television and tobacco industries, as well as the South and college football. His last major successful project was his work on House Calls, which began as a 1978 movie based on one of his stories which starred Walter Matthau and Glenda Jackson, and later became a television series (1979-1981) starring Wayne Rogers and Lynn Redgrave in the same roles, for which he was the lead writer.
