1  I will take with me what belongs to myself.
2  But now I must cut myself free from all that.
3  You shall not have it; I will read it myself.
4  No, the fact is I have been overworking myself.
5  That is correct; I have ascertained it for myself.
6  Many a time did I ask myself if I had the right to do it.
7  You will see I am man enough to take everything upon myself.
8  I must think over things for myself and get to understand them.
9  But you neither think nor talk like the man I could bind myself to.
10  I couldn't take that into account; I didn't trouble myself about you at all.
11  I must stand quite alone, if I am to understand myself and everything about me.
12  I want to rehabilitate myself, Mrs Helmer; I want to get on; and in that your husband must help me.
13  Last winter I was lucky enough to get a lot of copying to do; so I locked myself up and sat writing every evening until quite late at night.
14  I am learning, too, that the law is quite another thing from what I supposed; but I find it impossible to convince myself that the law is right.
15  I shall only make one more examination of myself; when I have done that, I shall know pretty certainly when it will be that the horrors of dissolution will begin.
16  I know quite well, Torvald, that most people would think you right, and that views of that kind are to be found in books; but I can no longer content myself with what most people say, or with what is found in books.
