Katerina Monologue from The Storm

From The Storm by Aleksandr Nikolaevich Ostrovsky

female · anguished · 47 sec

Whatever I long to do, I will do. (VARVARA: Just try; why they'd torment you to death.) What do I care! I should go away, and that would be the end of it. (VARVARA: Where would you go? You are a married woman.) Ah, Varia, you don't know me! I pray, of course, it may never come to that! But if I am too miserable here, they would not keep me by any force on earth. I should throw myself out of the window, I should drown myself in the Volga. If I will not to live here, then I would not, they might cut me to pieces! (Silence.)
