The Wild Duck Journal #3

The Characters who hold the most blame are Gina and Werle. They are the two who began building this mess and should be responsible for all the lies they told. If it wasn't for them hiding the truth from their families there would have been the unraveling of the lies that led to Hedvig's death. The character who is without blame is Hedvig she was just an innocent girl who was just going along and then she was thrown into the lies that her mother told. Then the only father she knew ended up leaving, for a young girl it would be a traumatic experience especially when you have no idea of what caused it. I think that Gina should have more blame than she takes. Everyone is concentrated on the fact that the Werles started and uncovered the lies, but Gina should be blamed just as much. The only ones that take responsibility is Hjalmar and that isn't until he calms down from being upset. Werle also takes the responsibility of giving Hedvig a good life even though it isn't upfront he provides her with a family and makes sure that family has a stable income.
