It includes a range of both Dramatic and Comedic monologues. You’ll always be held to a different, higher standard and it’s f***ed up, but that’s the way it is.This is a list of great monologues for women. God is the father and God didn't show up so you have to be perfect and Charlie can be a f*** up and it doesn't matter. He didn’t even do the f***ing because God’s in heaven. She’s a virgin who gives birth, unwaveringly supports her child, and holds his dead body when he’s gone. "We don't accept it structurally and we don't accept it spiritually because the basis of our Judeo-Christian Whatever is Mary Mother of Jesus and she’s perfect. But people absolutely don't accept those same failings in mothers. Before that fathers were expected to be silent and absent and unreliable and selfish and we can all say that we want them to be different but on some basic level we accept them, we love them for their fallibilities. Let’s face it, the idea of a good father was only invented like 30 years ago. People don’t accept a mother who drinks too much wine and yells at her child and calls him an asshole. You take…and don’t even know nobody’s giving." You always talking about what you give…and what you don’t have to give. Cause that’s the only way I was gonna survive as your wife. And upstairs in that room…with the darkness falling in on me…I gave everything I had to try and erase the doubt that you wasn’t the finest man in the world, and wherever you was going…I wanted to be there with you.
Every part of me I could find to give you. "But I held on to you, Troy, I held you tighter. And it didn’t take me no eighteen years to find out the soil was hard and rocky and it wasn’t never gonna bloom. I planted myself inside you and waited to bloom. I planted a seed and waited and prayed over it. I took all my feelings, my wants and needs, my dreams…and I buried them inside you. "You not the only one who’s got wants and needs. Don’t you think it ever crossed my mind to want to know other men? That I wanted to lay up somewhere and forget about my responsibilities? That I wanted someone to make me laugh so I could feel good? Don’t you think I ever wanted other things? Don’t you think I had dreams and hopes? What about my life? What about me. I gave several years of my life to stand in the same spot with you. "I been standing with you! I been right here with you, Troy. "However, that blue represents millions of dollars and countless jobs and so it’s sort of comical how you think that you’ve made a choice that exempts you from the fashion industry when, in fact, you’re wearing the sweater that was selected for you by the people in this room. Then it filtered down through the department stores and then trickled on down into some tragic 'casual corner' where you, no doubt, fished it out of some clearance bin. And then I think it was Yves St Laurent, wasn’t it, who showed cerulean military jackets? And then cerulean quickly showed up in the collections of eight different designers. "You’re also blindly unaware of the fact that in 2002, Oscar de la Renta did a collection of cerulean gowns. But what you don’t know is that that sweater is not just blue, it’s not turquoise, it’s not lapis, it’s actually cerulean. You go to your closet and you select out, oh I don’t know, that lumpy blue sweater, for instance, because you’re trying to tell the world that you take yourself too seriously to care about what you put on your back. I see, you think this has nothing to do with you. WATCH NOW Michelle Williams, Manchester By The Sea My cute, charming, salt of the earth misery guy. You think I’d let him destroy me and end up happier than ever? No fucking way. He actually expected me to love him unconditionally then he dragged me, penniless, to the naval of this great country and found himself a newer, younger, bouncier cool girl. He became someone I did not agree to marry. And what’s the point of being together if you’re not the happiest. We were happy pretending to be other people. "But I made him smarter, sharper, I inspired him to rise to my level. I can’t say I didn’t enjoy some of it… Nick teased out in my things I didn’t know existed. I drank canned beer watching Adam Sandler movies. "When I met Nick Dunne, I knew he wanted a cool girl and for him, I’ll admit, I was willing to try. If he likes girls gone wild, she’s a mall babe who talks football and endures buffalo wings at Hooters. So, evidently, he’s a vinyl hipster who loves fetish monger.
