Letter from Werle to Gregers-
Dear son,
I know you don't hold me in the highest regards, but I aim to change that. You see, you are viewing me not through your mother's eyes alone, but from her universal perspective. There is no need to be bitter towards me finding love, as you are just being selfish by trying to take the opportunity away from me. When you speak to me, it is word for word like your mother and don't you (for your own good) want to grow up and form your own opinions?
STRIVE! I plead of you, for independent views and thoughts of me. The family you so notably lacked can be formed if you let it. You have the power over having the American dream family. I'm not a criminal, that was proven in the court of law. Ekdal was a big boy and knew exactly what he was getting himself into with this lying in the timber business.
I'm am not the horrible person you make me out to be. You have soiled my reputation among myself and others and that is not okay with me. You will respect me, as the way you are acting is surely not the way I raised you
-Gregers
