ACT III. The picture above represents the "People's Messenger" office where the third act takes place. When Dr. Stockmann arrives in the office and is greeted by Hovstad and Billing, they seem confident to make the doctor's plan succeed. I wonder why Dr. Stockmann left. Did he go home to his wife for something? I can't believe Hovstad and Aslaksen are only using the doctor. But, why? And what does it do for their benefit? Now Hovstad and Billing want to get rid of Aslaksen. I can understand why because he always seems to have a bad attitude and wants things to go exactly his way. I wonder how Petra knows how to translate the English paper. She could get a really good job for translating. Then the mayor suddenly enters into the office. It's amazing how the mayor can change the minds of Hovstad and Aslaksen that quick. They were both so confident, then the mayor comes in switches everyone's views. Why are they trying to hide the mayor? That is very sneaky. I wonder how long it takes to print an article and how many copies they make. Why is Mrs. Stockmann in the office now. It seems like everyone is coming to the office. Is Mrs. Stockmann embarrassed by her husband and worried by carrying out his plan he will ruin his family? Dr. Stockmann shouldn't have put on his brother's hat. That was rude and he could lose a lot of respect for that. This idea is spiraling downhill and probably won't pull through. The town meeting will most likely make things worse.
