The conclusion of the play Ellida's clinging to Wangel and rejection of the Stranger depends entirely on a change in Wangel's mental attitude, of which we have no proof whatever beyond his bare assertion.
Psychologically, indeed, the incident is acceptable enough. The saner part of Ellida's will was always on Wangel's side; and a merely verbal undoing of the "bargain" with which she reproached herself might quite naturally suffice to turn the scale decisively in his favour. But what may suffice for Ellida is not enough for the audience. Too much is made to hang upon a verbally announced conversion.
