Keeney Monologue from Ile

From Ile by Eugene G. O'Neill

male · anguished · 1:13 min

No man has ever had a better, Annie. Mrs. Keeney. And I've never asked for much from you, have I, David? Have I? Keeney. You know you could have all I got the power to give ye, Annie. Mrs. Keeney. Then do this, this once, for my sake, for God's sake—take me home! It's killing me, this life—the brutality and cold and horror of it. I'm going mad. I can feel the threat in the air. I can't bear the silence threatening me—day after gray day and every day the same. I can't bear it. I'll go mad, I know I will. Take me home, David, if you love me as you say. I'm afraid. For the love of God, take me home!
