You have to do a serious monologue for a theatre class, 2-5 minutes, memorized. You can choose from anything but plays are best. What do you choose?

My last duchess by Robert Browning
When I was in highschool I did a monologue from An Inspector Calls (think that is what it was called) and it was e.z.
If I did one now I'd do Ahab's doubloon in the mask and foam at the mouth.
Whitman. The audience and myself will both be crying at "i shake my locks at the runaway sun".

>Ahab's doubloon
That would be a good one.
That was a good chapter. Fuck stubb is funny.
Also any Shakespearean monologue would be good.

Do a Robert Browning, he basically invented poetic monologues and they're gorgeous. My vote is for the Spanish Cloister

Plus you would get to start with "grrr".

If you're going to do a Shakespeare monologue, you should pick one from a play you know, and try to do one you choose from the play, not from a Buzzfeed of best Shakespeare Soliloquys

That's pretty much why I would recommend it. If you want, Browning does a Caliban one, can't remember what it's called now, that's like Shakespeare.

the st. crispin's day speech is a sure winner
That monologue Walt gives Walt Jr. about his dad dying is something I've wanted to perform since I saw it a few years back.
As others have said Robert Browning would be great. I've only read The Bishop Orders His Tomb at St. Praxed's Church, but I loved it.
Maybe a political speech. You could go Thucydides and read Pericles' funeral oration, or you could do a more recent one. Might be neat to take a speech Trump made and see how long it takes your classmates to realize you're memeing them.
Socrates in the apology.
