Prompt: Letters the characters might have written
Father-
You must understand I cannot possibly return home. My very core has been shaken by the horrendous actions you have committed. You may call me my mother, you may beg and plead, but I will not come back. I have decided to inform Hjalmar about the affair. You think after all you have done, that I would come pleading back at your doorstep? There is too little logic in your feeble mind.
You must understand I cannot tell you my reasons for departure; I have found a personal quest that could not be shared with you. A light in the darkness you have shrouded me in all my life. A reason to continue. In short father, it is time you understand that not all can be forgiven, and in the case of your miserable son, it certainly will not be.

Thats deep. Good job. You should ellaborate more on the affair and the lies though.
ReplyDeleteHahah. I'm confused. So you have Gregers say that he can't tell his dad why he's departing, but earlier in the journal entry he says that he's leaving to tell Hjalmar about his dad's affair. Doesn't that provide a reason for him leaving? It's a good journal post though. It encompasses Gregers' motivation that propels the play onward and even allows your interpretation of Gregers' unwillingness to forgive his dad.
