Miller Monologue from Love and Intrigue: A Tragedy

From Love and Intrigue: A Tragedy by Friedrich Schiller

female · defiant · 50 sec

God defend thee, my child! The worm of conscience alone wakes and watches with the owl; none shun the light but criminals and evil spirits. (LOUISA: And eternity, father, which speaks to the soul in solitude!) Louisa, my child! What words are these? LOUISA (rises, and comes forward). I have fought a hard fight--you know it, father! but God gave me the strength! The fight is over! Father, our sex is called timid and weak; believe it no more! We tremble at a spider, but the black monster, corruption, we hug to our arms in sport! This for your edification, father. Your Louisa is merry.
