"I feel myself already condemned, and in her contempt for them I read my own sentence"
I've got Shakespeare in the brain.
For the past week I've been reciting Hamlet's soliloquy at odd times (work, bus, lunch). Which got me reciting other monologues. Which got me thinking: I need new to learn new monologues. Which got me researching other monologues. Which led me to Molière.
The whole monologue got to me cerebrally and the last line knocked me over:
