Goneril Monologue from King Lear

From King Lear by William Shakespeare

female · dramatic · 1:05 min

Sister, it is not little I have to say of what most nearly appertains to us both. I think our father will hence tonight. (REGAN: That’s most certain, and with you; next month with us.) You see how full of changes his age is; the observation we have made of it hath not been little: he always loved our sister most; and with what poor judgement he hath now cast her off appears too grossly. (REGAN: ’Tis the infirmity of his age: yet he hath ever but slenderly known himself.) The best and soundest of his time hath been but rash; then must we look from his age to receive not alone the imperfections of long-engrafted condition, but therewithal the unruly waywardness that infirm and choleric years bring with them.
