Kroll Monologue from Rosmersholm

From Rosmersholm by Henrik Ibsen

male · anguished · 57 sec

There is one thing, at any rate, that I can tell you now, and that is that your poor tortured and overwrought Beata put an end to her own life in order that yours might be happy--and that you might be free to live as you pleased. (Rosmer: What do you mean by that?) You must listen to me quietly, Rosmer--because now I can speak of it. During the last year of her life she came twice to see me, to tell me what she suffered from her fears and her despair. (Rosmer: On that point?) No. The first time she came she declared that you were on the high road to apostasy--that you were going to desert the faith that your father had taught you.
