Oh! you’re not so very far from it. For you are a sick man too, you see. (GREGERS: There you are right.) Exactly. You are suffering from a complicated complaint. First, there’s that troublesome virtue-fever; and what’s worse, you’re always working yourself up into a delirium of hero-worship. You must always have something to admire outside yourself. (GREGERS: Yes, indeed, I must seek it outside myself.) But you make such woeful blunders about the mighty paragons you think you see and hear about you. Here you’ve been visiting a farmer’s cottage again with your claims of the ideal; but the people in this house aren’t solvent.
