Nanette Monologue from For All Time

From For All Time by Rita Wellman

female · anguished · 55 sec

Nanette, I never knew what love was until Maurice came. I was older than he. I knew life better. I knew myself better. I had struggled. You say that you had to struggle because you weren't pretty. I had to struggle because I was. You can't know what it is to have every other man you meet want to possess you, not because he loves you, but because your face suggests love to him and he hasn't learned to know the difference. He finds that out later, and then he reproaches you for being beautiful. To think that Maurice should fall so low! Yes, the war.
