Mrs Allonby Monologue from A Woman of No Importance

From A Woman of No Importance by Oscar Wilde

female · sarcastic · 39 sec

If we ask him a question about anything, he should give us an answer all about ourselves. He should invariably praise us for whatever qualities he knows we haven’t got. But he should be pitiless, quite pitiless, in reproaching us for the virtues that we have never dreamed of possessing. He should never believe that we know the use of useful things. That would be unforgiveable. But he should shower on us everything we don’t want.
