Kroll Monologue from Rosmersholm

From Rosmersholm by Henrik Ibsen

male · anguished · 58 sec

I have not been able to close an eye since yesterday. I lay all night, thinking and thinking. (Rosmer: And what have you got to say to-day?) It will take me some time, Rosmer. Let me begin with a sort of introduction. I can give you some news of Ulrick Brendel. (Rosmer: Has he been to see you?) No. He took up his quarters in a low-class tavern--in the lowest kind of company, of course; drank, and stood drinks to others, as long as he had any money left; and then began to abuse the whole lot of them as a contemptible rabble--and, indeed, as far as that goes he was quite right. But the result was, that he got a thrashing and was thrown out into the gutter.
