Relling Monologue from The Wild Duck

From The Wild Duck by Henrik Ibsen

Well, I’ve never exactly been married, so I’m no judge of such things. But this I do know, the child is part of the marriage too. And you must leave the child at peace. (HJALMAR: Ah! Hedvig! My poor Hedvig!) Yes, you must be so good as to keep Hedvig out of all this. You two are grown-up people; you can, in God’s name muddle and meddle with your lives, if you feel inclined. But you must be careful with Hedvig, I tell you, else you may do her a mischief. (HJALMAR: A mischief!) Yes--or she may do herself a mischief!--and perhaps others, too.
