He also reveals that he was once in love with Tekla himself and that she left him for Adolph.As the play progresses, Gustav's manipulation of Adolph becomes more and more clear. He convinces Adolph that Tekla is unfaithful and that he should leave her.

Strindberg's exploration of power dynamics and the nature of love and betrayal make Creditors a timeless work of literature.ADOLPH. [Uneasily] I don't know. You live with a woman for years, and you never stop to analyse her, or your relationship with her, and then--then you begin to think--and there you are!--Gustav, you are my friend. The only male friend I have. During this last week you have given me courage to live again. It is as if your own magnetism had been poured into me. Like a watchmaker, you have fixed the works in my head and wound up the spring again. Can't you hear, yourself, how I think more clearly and speak more to the point? And to myself at least it seems as if my voice had recovered its ring.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
