Axel Monologue from Easter

From Easter by August Strindberg

male · anguished · 31 sec

When was I honorable? When I allowed you to use me like an old shoe? But now you are my superior--and now I can't strive to be honorable any longer. Do you know that this adversity will also change our economic relations? I cannot think of painting any more, but must give up my life's dream and become a pot-boiler in earnest.
