Hypatia Monologue from Misalliance

From Misalliance by Bernard Shaw

female · defiant · 41 sec

Thats just it. I'm fed up with-- (LORD SUMMERHAYS: Horrible expression. Dont.) Oh, I daresay it's vulgar; but theres no other word for it. I'm fed up with nice things: with respectability, with propriety! When a woman has nothing to do, money and respectability mean that nothing is ever allowed to happen to her. I dont want to be good; and I dont want to be bad: I just dont want to be bothered about either good or bad: I want to be an active verb.
