Mrs Heyst Monologue from Easter

From Easter by August Strindberg

female · anguished · 43 sec

The worst has happened so many times that it doesn't matter. Oh, my boy, if you knew my life--if you could have seen your father go down to destruction, as I did, and I couldn't warn all those to whom he brought misfortune! I felt like his accomplice when he went down--for, in a way, I knew of the crime, and if the judge hadn't been a man of great feeling, who realized my position as a wife and mother, I too would have been punished.
