Letter written by Gregers to a friend back in the mine
All hear is just as I left it, may father has done his work well. All the city looks to him as the honorable man and to his ex-partner Ekdal they shower blame and disgust. My father tries to pretend like the past had not happened, he greats me with open arms but all I see are claws made of lies. With my cooperation he would be able to put the past behind him completely and move into a second marriage without suspicion. I turned down his offer, he may find comfort on his pedestal of descite but I will not join him. I will never forget the pain he caused my mother and I plan to do everything I can to keep it from happening again. Hjalmar is a poor fool who has been blinded by my fathers money and favors. He does not see that while he may appear to support him out of good will, it is only to cover his own back. I will bring Hjalmar into the light and show him the true face of my father, the face that only I can see.
