Falk Monologue from Love's Comedy

From Love's Comedy by Henrik Ibsen

male · defiant · 47 sec

Nay, in my future there is room for two! We part not. Svanhild, if you dare decide, We'll battle on together side by side. (SVANHILD: We battle?) See, I have no friend, no mate, By all abandoned, I make war on all: At me they aim the piercing shafts of hate; Say, do you dare with me to stand or fall? Henceforth along the beaten walks I'll move Heedful of each constraining etiquette; Spread, like the rest of men, my board, and set The ring upon the finger of love! (Takes a ring from his finger and holds it up. SVANHILD [in breathless suspense). You mean that?
