In the story “On the Lake” Vilhelm is described as being just all those things. In the story Oskar is asked if he wants to do a few turns, on the water, by his son Jonas. This ends in a disappointment as Oskar isn't as good as “...the man in the white boat” (Line 49). The boat capsizes in an attempt from Oskar to furthermore impress his son. Luckily rescue came. as the man from the white boat being Vilhelm, had been watching them. Vilhelm is being fascinated by Jonas. After the boat capsized Oskar had no more strength to help his son. He used the last of his strength to safe himself leaving his son. This is the point of no return in the story, because that shows us that Oskar is acting selfish, he does not think of his child in a such dangerous situation. Vilhelm is the hero of the story. He rescues Jonas, when his father left him in the water. Vilhelm also seems really faithful and sensible. When Vilhelm says “when u capsized” (L. 85) something touches Margret. She had no clue of the incident and asks Oscar what happened. He answers with a lie “I really don't know, I turned and must have been hit broadside by a wave...” Vilhelm knows this is a lie, and therefor corrects Oskar, with details from the incident. Vilhelm enyoys correcting Oskar, and putting him in bad light. It could be vilhelm's intentions all along to create conflicts between Margret and Oskar, perhaps to get Margret
