I Mrs. Alvingr is a woman who was forced by society to remain with her husband regardless of what he was! and in spite of his depraved condition.

The fact that her son, whom she gent away from his father and herself when he was very young, returns to her a dis eased youth reminds [her so much of her late husband that she feels she is haunted by the ghosts of the PMt.
