Below is the full text plus some links to more helpful resources. • Here are the monologues from the video... • #1 Hermione | The Winter's Tale (Act 3 Scene 2) • Sir, spare your threats: • The bug which you would fright me with I seek. • To me can life be no commodity: • The crown and comfort of my life, your favour, • I do give lost; for I do feel it gone, • But know not how it went. My second joy • And first-fruits of my body, from his presence • I am barr'd, like one infectious. My third comfort • Starr'd most unluckily, is from my breast, • The innocent milk in its most innocent mouth, • Haled out to murder: myself on every post • Proclaimed a strumpet: with immodest hatred • The child-bed privilege denied, which 'longs • To women of all fashion; lastly, hurried • Here to this place, i' the open air, before • I have got strength of limit. Now, my liege, • Tell me what blessings I have here alive, • That I should fear to die? Therefore proceed. • But yet hear this: mistake me not; no life, • I prize it not a straw, but for mine honour, • Which I would free, if I shall be condemn'd • Upon surmises, all proofs sleeping else • But what your jealousies awake, I tell you • 'Tis rigor and not law. Your honours all, • I do refer me to the oracle: • Apollo be my judge! • #2 Lady Macbeth | Macbeth (Act 1 Scene 7) • Was the hope drunk • Wherein you dress'd yourself? hath it slept since? • And wakes it now, to look so green and pale • At what it did so freely? From this time • Such I account thy love. Art thou afeard • To be the same in thine own act and valour • As thou art in desire? Wouldst thou have that • Which thou esteem'st the ornament of life, • And live a coward in thine own esteem, • Letting 'I dare not' wait upon 'I would,' • Like the poor cat i' the adage? • What beast was't, then, • That made you break this enterprise to me? • When you durst do it, then you were a man; • And, to be more than what you were, you would • Be so much more the man. Nor time nor place • Did then adhere, and yet you would make both: • They have made themselves, and that their fitness now • Does unmake you. I have given suck, and know • How tender 'tis to love the babe that milks me: • I would, while it was smiling in my face, • Have pluck'd my nipple from his boneless gums, • And dash'd the brains out, had I so sworn as you • Have done to this. • #3 Helena | A Midsummer Night's Dream (Act 1 Scene 1) • How happy some o’er other some can be! • Through Athens I am thought as fair as she. • But what of that? Demetrius thinks not so; • He will not know what all but he do know; • And as he errs, doting on Hermia’s eyes, • So I, admiring of his qualities. • Continued: https://www.stagemilk.com/helena-mono... • #4 Juliet | Romeo and Juliet (Act 3 Scene 2) • Gallop apace, you fiery-footed steeds, • Toward Phoebus’ lodging. Such a wagoner • As Phaeton would whip you to the west • And bring in cloudy night immediately. • Continued: https://www.stagemilk.com/juliet-mono... • #5 Lady Anne | Richard III (Act 1 Scene 2) • What, do you tremble? are you all afraid? • Alas, I blame you not; for you are mortal, • And mortal eyes cannot endure the devil. • Avaunt, thou dreadful minister of hell! • Thou hadst but power over his mortal body, • His soul thou canst not have; therefore be gone. • Foul devil, for God's sake, hence, and trouble us not; • For thou hast made the happy earth thy hell, • Fill'd it with cursing cries and deep exclaims. • If thou delight to view thy heinous deeds, • Behold this pattern of thy butcheries. • O, gentlemen, see, see! dead Henry's wounds • Open their congeal'd mouths and bleed afresh! • Blush, Blush, thou lump of foul deformity; • For 'tis thy presence that exhales this blood • From cold and empty veins, where no blood dwells; • Thy deed, inhuman and unnatural, • Provokes this deluge most unnatural. • O God, which this blood madest, revenge his death! • O earth, which this blood drink'st revenge his death! • Either heaven with lightning strike the • murderer dead, • Or earth, gape open wide and eat him quick, • As thou dost swallow up this good king's blood • Which his hell-govern'd arm hath butchered! • #6 Cressida | Troilus and Cressida (Act 3 Scene 2) • Boldness comes to me now, and brings me heart. • Prince Troilus, I have loved you night and day • For many weary months. • To find the rest of this monologue and more on all the monologues mentioned here, check out our full list of Shakespeare monologues: • https://www.stagemilk.com/female-shak...
