Hjalmar Monologue from The Wild Duck

From The Wild Duck by Henrik Ibsen

male · contemplative · 50 sec

It is this, that--but I really don’t know if I may express myself so freely about your father. (GREGERS: Pray do not mind me in the least!) Very well. You see, it seems to me so revolting to think that now it is not I, but he who will realize the true marriage. (GREGERS: How can you say such a thing!) But it is so. For your father and Mrs. Sorby are entering upon a marriage-contract founded upon complete confidence, founded upon perfect and absolute frankness on both sides; there are no concealments between them; there’s nothing kept in the background in their relation; the two sinners, if I may so express myself, proclaim mutual forgiveness.
