Ellida Monologue from The Lady from the Sea

From The Lady from the Sea by Henrik Ibsen

female · anguished · 43 sec

No, no, I did not. I neither wished nor did not wish it. I simply left things just as I found them the day I came here. It is you, and no one else, who wished it. (Wangel: I thought to do all for the best for you.) Yes, Wangel, I know it so well! But there is retribution in that, a something that avenges itself. For now I find no binding power here-nothing to strengthen me--nothing to help me--nothing to draw me towards what should have been the strongest possession of us both.
