Examples Of Monologue On Odysseus

I try. I try to be kind. I try to be civil. I try t let the past go. But I can’t, I just can’t. I can forget everything for about ten seconds, but soon enough, it all comes flooding back, all the bitterness and resentment and anger. I wish she knew how it felt, sitting here day in and day out, looking like I do, all alone and full of hatred. But she doesn’t. She’ll never know. She just sits there on her island, preening and strutting around, the object of so many men’s affection. That used to be me, too. But she stole it from me. Alas, here comes another unlucky sailor. Perhaps I’ll take my anger out on him instead… I can see his ship sailing towards the strait. I should just let him go through, I know I should. He’s never done anything to

Stupid, stupid mortal. It’s all his fault. All his fault, it is. He isn’t a real god. He can’t just be born a mortal and then become a god. No, no. He might be immortal now, but he is no god. He doesn’t have the right mindset. He’s still a mortal at heart. Much too weak to date me. How could he even think I would agree? Stupid mortal. All his fault, all his fault. And then he had to go running his mouth to her. That witch Circe. She made me like, she did it. Not me, not me. It’s not my fault the mortal was in love with me. I was just a girl, she shouldn’t have done that to me. What did I ever do to her? She’s so greedy, so, so greedy. Not everyone has to love her. Why couldn’t she just let me have this one? I didn’t even like him. No, I didn’t. I just don’t think she had to do this to me. It’s not fair! Not fair, not fair, not fair. All her fault, and now I’m stuck here. But I can never make her understand how I feel. But now, maybe now, I can have my revenge. Here is the man she loves, coming right towards me. Aha! Yes, he is coming. If I can cause him pain, make him hurt, then maybe I can make her hurt, too. Yes, that’s a good idea. Here he comes now, he is almost upon me! I can see his men on the deck! They are almost within reach. Wait,

Now I put him in my mouth, one of my mouths. I have to get one for each. Six men for six mouths. I’m hungry today. I think I’ll take a big one. Oh yes, here’s one now, standing at the bow. Got him! I like to hear them scream when I eat them. They know about me. They are afraid of me. I think that’s funny. They think I’m crazy, a crazy crazy monster, but that’s silly. I’m not crazy. No, not at all. I’m just angry. Uh oh, now I’m thinking of her again. I’m seeing red now. Another man eaten, now another. And two more, now. That makes six. Six men for six mouths. All done for today. Oh, look at him, look at Odysseus. He looks so sad. Did I do that? Oh yes, I ate his men. Now I feel guilty. Perhaps I shouldn’t have. What did he ever do to me? Now I remember! What did I ever do to Circe? Nothing, nothing at all! It doesn’t matter then. I can eat who I want. An eye for an eye, that’s what Nemesis would say! I like Nemesis. A wrong besets a wrong, that’s what she says. I like that. That makes me feel
