Lovborg Monologue from Hedda Gabler

From Hedda Gabler by Henrik Ibsen

male · contemplative · 45 sec

Yes, yes, Hedda! Was there not?--When I used to come to your father's in the afternoon--and the General sat over at the window reading his papers--with his back towards us-- (HEDDA: And we two on the corner sofa--) Always with the same illustrated paper before us-- (HEDDA: For want of an album, yes.) Yes, Hedda, and when I made my confessions to you--told you about myself, things that at that time no one else knew! There I would sit and tell you of my escapades--my days and nights of devilment. Oh, Hedda--what was the power in you that forced me to confess these things?
