Lady Chiltern Monologue from An Ideal Husband

From An Ideal Husband by Oscar Wilde

female · anguished · 40 sec

Don’t come near me. Don’t touch me. I feel as if you had soiled me for ever. Oh! what a mask you have been wearing all these years! A horrible painted mask! You sold yourself for money. Oh! a common thief were better. You put yourself up to sale to the highest bidder! You were bought in the market. You lied to the whole world. And yet you will not lie to me.
