Journal #1: The Wild Duck

Option 2:
The first character that came to mind when I read that prompt was Gregers Werle. Gregers sees all of the different facades and lies that are going on in the story. He knew even when he was younger that Gina and Old Werle were having affairs and he knew immediately that Hedvig was not Hjalmar's child. He found the lies in people and decides that it is his duty to reveal all of the lies.
Another character that I saw creating false facades is Gina. She has lied about Hedvig her whole life and plans to keep it a secret. She does everything to keep the secret about Hedvig just that. A secret. When it starts to unravel she tries to cover the truth once again and keep Hjalmar in a quiet perfect world hidden from the scary truth.
