Rhoda Williams Monologue from The Faith Healer: A Play in Three Acts

From The Faith Healer: A Play in Three Acts by William Vaughn Moody

female · anguished · 1:15 min

I was young then, wild-hearted, pitifully ignorant. I thought that love had come to me. Girls are so eager for love. They snatch at the shadow of it.--That is what I did.--I am not trying to plead for myself.--Some things are not to be forgiven.--Somewhere in my nature there was a taint--a plague-spot.--If life is given me, I shall find it and root it out. I only ask for time to do that. But meanwhile I have done what I could. I have told you the truth. I have set you free. I have given you back your mission. Dr. Littlefield enters, carrying his hat and medicine case. He looks sharply at Rhoda, then turns to Michaelis. His manner towards him is politely contemptuous, toward Rhoda it is full of covert passion, modified by his habitual cynicism and satire.
