The wild duck Journal 4

Gina is a character at fault. She should have told Hjalmar the events in her past, especially the fact that Hedvig was Werle's son. Gina isn’t the only character at fault though. Gregers is at fault because he decided to try and resolve the problem but instead he enlarged it. If he had let Hjalmar live in peace, the whole problem could have been averted. I think Gregers should carry most of the blame. Hjalmar is also to blame for turning against his family from the advice of a friend. He was not able to reconcile his differences with Gina and felt sorry for himself instead of being proactive and fixing the situation himself. The only character without blame is Hedvig. She is just an innocent child caught up in the web of hate and distrust Gregers, Gina and Hjalmar spun. She only wanted the best for her mother and father but her father left her.
