The Danish Girl Part 4, Chapter 24 Summary

How It All Goes Down

Copenhagen, 1931

  • Greta and Lili return to their apartment in Copenhagen, where Lili must take morphine tablets every day because of her pain.
  • Greta is surprised when the courts grant her a divorce almost immediately—she expected resistance from the bureaucracy, but it didn't happen.
  • However, she requests they issue a death warrant for Einar, but they will not.
  • Now that Lili is her own woman, and Einar is gone for good, Hans suggests to Greta that she leave and allow Lili to live on her own.
  • But Greta won't. She is determined to live with Lili and help take care of her.
