Kabanov Monologue from The Storm

From The Storm by Aleksandr Nikolaevich Ostrovsky

male · anguished · 1:14 min

No, I am going home. You have heard talk, I expect, about us? The whole household's upside down. (KULIGIN: I have heard so, sir, yes, I have heard so.) I went away to Moscow, you know. Mamma sent me off with a sermon, oh, such a sermon, but as soon as I was well away, I went in for enjoying myself. I was glad to have escaped into freedom. And I was drinking all the journey, and in Moscow too I kept it up, and had a jolly time--as you may fancy! Of course I'd to get in fun enough to last me the whole year. I never once thought about home. Though, if I had thought of it, I never should have dreamed of what was going on here. You've heard about it? (KULIGIN: Yes, sir.) I'm a miserable man now! And so, for nothing, my life's spoiled, for nothing I have done.
