I need to perform a monologue for me theatre class. I'd like to do a monologue from either Crime and Punishment or Notes from Underground by Fyodor Dostoevsky. Does anyone know of any good monologues from either of those?
Help choosing a monologue
you need to be at least 18 years old to post on this site
The 2x2 = 5 bit from Notes from Underground might be good, since the Underground Man is openly engaging in a one-sided dialogue with people, it's more comprehensible as a conversation than a lot of the book.
Senior in high school, just turned 18, etc.
fuck off
First Monologue of Segismundo in Life Is a Dream, by Pedro Calderón de la Barca.
try the one before the main character commits suicide
bring a gun and shoot yourself when you're done
if you are a senior as you claim it'll be a killer senior prank
this
The first 20 pages of Notes is mostly monologue.
Crime and Punishment has one every chapter it seems like
I suggest you don't use Dostoevsky in a highscool drama class though, because you'll look like an edgy weirdo.
