Wild Duck #3

I think Gregers, Gina, and Werle are at fault for what happens. Gregers is the instigator in the story and causes all the events that transpire. He uncovers the truth and makes it his mission to let everyone know and has no regard for the consequences that could later happen. Gina and Werle are also to blame because they both knew everything that was happening and never took it upon themselves to tell Hjalmar or anyone else the truth. They kept everything a secret for far too long. If they told the truth from the start the following events like Hedvig's death may not have occured. I think Hedvig and Hjalmar are without blame. Hjalmar never really knew about the lies and was unaware of what had happened. He could have also been more perceptive and noticed that things added up. Hedvig should have no blame because it was about her and she couldn't have known anything about what was happening. Gregers deserves to take responsibility for almost all of the problems because he is the one that starts all the drama and problems that happen in the play. It is possible that none of the events would have happened if Gregers did nothing about what he learned. Gregers is the only character that takes responsibility for the blame because at the end of the story he accepts that he is the 13th man at the table showing that he is the one who is not a part of the group and caused all the problems.
