Mortensgaard Monologue from Rosmersholm

From Rosmersholm by Henrik Ibsen

male · dramatic · 53 sec

I have the letter at home. It begins more or less to the effect that she is living in perpetual terror and dread, because of the fact that there are so many evilly disposed people about her whose only desire is to do you harm and mischief. (Rosmer: Me?) Yes, so she says. And then follows the most remarkable part of it all. Shall I tell you, Mr. Rosmer? (Rosmer: Of course! Tell me everything, without any reserve.) The poor lady begs and entreats me to be magnanimous. She says that she knows it was you, who got me dismissed from my post as schoolmaster, and implores me most earnestly not to revenge myself upon you.
