Helena Monologue from Helena's Husband

From Helena's Husband by Philip Moeller

female · philosophical · 54 sec

Please don't bother about all sorts of fine distinctions. Under the influence of Analytikos and my husband, life has become a mess of indecision. I'm a simple, direct woman and I expect you to say just what you think. Fate is impelling me toward you. Yes. That's much better. So you're a fatalist. It's very Greek. Your people must be uncivilized barbarians. Don't tell me it's money. Analytikos says if there weren't any money, there wouldn't be any of those ridiculous socialists. I, too, believe in sincerity. It's the loveliest thing in the world. The truth is never dangerous.
