Option 2: Examine how characters perceive themselves or others. Who has false conceptions of him/herself? Who has misconceptions of others? Who recognizes the facades created by other characters? Does the character embrace the facade, ignore it, or confront it?
I believe that Gregers has misconceptions of himself. Mostly because he questions his purpose in life and what he has to live for. He sees Hjalmar as a man that has found his purpose in life and knows what he has to life towards. I feel that Gregers now realizes that he does not have any true purpose in life and therefore seeks to questions what he is doing with his life and turns to Hjalmar to do this. Gregers wants to have a definite purpose but instead he has many instead. He says that he wants to be a clever dog, but then at the same time he says he wants to open Hjalmar's eyes. Gregers seems to have a misconception on who he is as an individual.
I think Gina has misconceptions of others because she always seems to be hiding something and therefore interprets things in a negative way. She is trying to hide the truth from others and she thinks they're always on top of her. When in fact they meant another thing. This idea of not meaning what you meant is what Gina interprets as a person's misconception.
I think Relling does embrace Greger's facade and does recognize it. He shows this by questioning him at times and making it hard for Gregers to answer. He questions Greger's purpose in life and brings back memories that Relling has of him. He believes that Greger's facade he is putting on is that he may seem confident on the outside but is morally deteriorated and can't find his purpose in life. He acknowledges that Gregers isn't who he is and warns everyone else on his observations.
