I'm gonna talk about Connor Murphy as a character and how I've been characterizing him in my head. Or just Dear Evan Hansen in general.

Don't read under the tab if you don't wanna deal with all that.

Connor Murphy as a character is honestly such an amazing representation of human to me in a way that nobody can make me rethink it.

Like it is said in the musical that Connor isn't really a great person. From Zoe to Jared. But it's all out of others mouths who Connor Murphy is. We never really get told by Connor himself who he really is/what he thinks of himself. This isn't anything new or exciting but I need to mention this for my points to make sense.

In the book version(and I'm going off of others who have read the book) the reader gets more of an idea of who Connor Murphy was as an individual. And what Connor thought of himself. Hell, it's even shown that Connor actually has a friend in the book version, Miguel.

But in these versions(I don't count the movie into this), we get a very limited view on Connor's character.

Like something that I see is constantly questioned for Connor Murphy is his mental health. Like on the official character page for Connor Murphy. It is questioned what potential disorder that he might have based on the novel.

Now I'm not an expert in any sort of mental health field so I'm not about to say that Connor Murphy was suffering from one disorder or another. That's not the point I'm trying to make here.

I think the point I'm trying to make here is the fact that though Connor Murphy was the one who was is the most real to me.

Though Connor is clearly struggling, he sticks around and tries. I could even say that his substance use was a way to manage himself. Though I don't think I sound great for saying it. I only say it because when you struggle to articulate your feelings or they get way to fucking much, you have to find anyway to get away from them or dampen the fire of them.

Connor did this through his use of drugs(would weed be a better word?)

And I find that so real because everyone else in the world does this, even in the musical/book they do that.

Alana tries to not focus on her feelings or worse of her emotions by getting very busy(a busy-body if you will). Jared seems to always be making shitty jokes. Zoe uses music. Heidi Hansen, when not busy, is feeding her heavier emotions into making sure her son gets the opportunities she couldn't get. All these things are more of the "healthier" ways of turning negative emotions into something positive (unless you never go back and reflex off why the emotions were negative which I doubt that the characters above did that for themselves)

And I think that Evan isn't pushing away his emotions, at least not at first. I mean you saw the letters. He was supposed to be positive because he held on too tightly to the negative. The letters ended up being a negative way to cope because he ended up pretending to be friends with a dead Connor. Evan tried to even say that the letters were a good thing because not only did they make others feel good, it made himself feel good. Evan Hansen being the worst at processing his own emotions.

Which is probably why I like Connor Murphy as a character so much. Because the way that he coped was negative but if he didn't try to cope in that it would be so much worse for everyone. Like we are told that Cynthia tried all these ways to help Connor, but none of them worked. After years, at some point, Connor found a way that made the worst stop for a while.

Connor's character is so real in the fact that he took two negatives and tried to make something positive. It shows how humans solve a lot of their problems. And it also gives a very clear look on how negative people aren't always so black and white, even though some people would like the simplicity of it. Something that is also carried through the story. Like how everyone only had something negative to say about Connor until his suicide(and you'd be pretty fucked up to say rude stuff about dead kids, right). Obviously those closer to Connor(his parents and Zoe), had more trouble finding the positive that Connor was before.

Anyways I don't know what else to write.

Sorry for the ramble. Ignore ig.

hate the fact so many people think dear evan hansen is supposed to be “oh! good story good protagonist” when it’s not. every character we follow is incredibly flawed and it’s portrayed that way. it’s your fault if you can’t see OBVIOUS criticism of our main character’s actions through the show.

“but! but the end! he got scot-free!”

he lost the only actual friends he had. he lost the murphy family who he felt was his only family at that moment. before speaking about the letter being his, he already lost alana and jared, and the ONLY person he had after the fact of revealing that the letter was his was his MOTHER. a woman who, throughout the show, he had a strained relationship with.

not to mention did we just ignore good for you, which came BEFORE the letter.

also i think….? complaining that the murphy’s didn’t out evan is SO weird.

in the end of the show the murphy family literally gets doxxed (in the novel, they quite literally SAY where the family lives online, as well as zoe’s number. jfc poor girl), because of something these people believe to be connor’s suicide note, which quite literally doesn’t say ANYTHING bad about the murphy family. people just decide to dox the family because they have the interpretation that the murphy family is all at fault.

can you IMAGINE what would have happened to evan if the murphy family came out about that? it would be SO much worse.

the murphy family is dysfunctional, yes, but they aren’t evil people. there’s a REASON they didn’t come out with it because. they didn’t want evan getting the same treatment as them, no matter how badly he fucked up. because they have REASONING in their brains.

this is so easy to understand and people so lack the skills to think about media in the current day. like no. the show doesn’t explain it to you outright, and it doesn’t come to a perfect ending for you. and it shouldn’t have to if you’re able to understand media to an extent.

Someone in my town's Facebook group made this post to thank a boy named Connor and so I had to make it into Dear Evan Hansen.

Basically, this is how Evan and Connor have a meetcute and Heidi and Cynthia become friends. Future fanfic idea?

[professionalfoodstalker]

I will literally never forgive them for taking Good For You out of the Dear Evan Hansen movie. God I needed that so badly and they stole it from me.
