Bar Monologue from The Jealousy of le Barbouillé (La Jalousie du Barbouillé)

From The Jealousy of le Barbouillé (La Jalousie du Barbouillé) by Molière

male · comedic · 1:14 min

Everybody must acknowledge that I am the most unfortunate of men! I have a wife who plagues me to death; and who, instead of bringing me comfort and doing things as I like them to be done, makes me swear at her twenty times a day. Instead of keeping at home, she likes gadding about, eating good dinners, and passing her time with people of I don't know what description. Ah! poor Barbouillé, how much you are to be pitied! But she must be punished. Suppose you killed her?... It would do no good, for you would be hung afterwards. If you were to have her sent to prison?... The minx would find means of coming out. What the deuce are you to do?--But here is the doctor coming out this way; suppose I ask his advice on my difficulties.
