Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"The Wild Duck" by Henrik Ibsen is a play written in 1884. It follows the Ekdal family, whose fragile domestic peace is destroyed when an idealistic outsider insists on exposing long-buried secrets. Gregers Werle returns from exile determined to reveal the truth about his father's relationship with his friend's wife, believing honesty will liberate them. Instead, his revelations threaten to tear the family apart, forcing them to confront painful questions about love, legitimacy, and the cost of truth versus the comfort of illusion.
