Monologue

Mrs George Monologue from Getting Married

From Getting Married by Bernard Shaw

female · defiant · 49 sec

You prophesy falsely, Anthony: never in all my life have I done anything that was not ordained for me. (More quietly) Ive been myself. Ive not been afraid of myself. And at last I have escaped from myself, and am become a voice for them that are afraid to speak, and a cry for the hearts that break in silence. SOAMES (whispering) Is she inspired? (THE BISHOP: Marvellous. Hush.) I have earned the right to speak. I have dared: I have gone through: I have not fallen withered in the fire: I have come at last out beyond, to the back of Godspeed?
