The Wild Duck written in 1884 by Norwegian playwright Ibsen Henrik is one of the most realistic plays. It is widely regarded as one of Ibsen’s most significant works and an early example of modern realism. This five-act drama which centers around the Ekdal family, particularly Gregers Werle and Hjalmar Ekdal explores themes of truth, illusion, family dynamics, and self-deception. This paper examines how the revelation of hidden truths affects their lives. Both Hjalmar and Gregers possess mental disorders which are seen in their behavior. Gregers, idealistic and obsessed with uncovering the truth, disrupts the fragile peace of the Ekdal household by exposing past secrets. The present paper is a small venture to study flaws in Gregers Werle whose over- idealistic views and intrusion unravel the delicate balance the Hjalmar’s family has maintained, leading to dramatic and tragic consequences.
