Monologues

Today, we started our new project, we had to firstly choose a monologue from Shakespeare's play. I choose a monologue from Macbeth on the scene where Macbeth and Lady Macbeth are talking in their chamber. I cut the part Macbeth is talking and left the part where Lady Macbeth is talking. This is my monologue
''He has almost supped. Why have you left the chamber?
Know you not he has?
Was the hope drunk
Wherein you dressed yourself? Hath it slept since?
And wakes it now, to look so green and pale
At what it did so freely? From this time
Such I account thy love. Art thou afeard
To be the same in thine own act and valor
As thou art in desire? Wouldst thou have that
Which thou esteem’st the ornament of life,
And live a coward in thine own esteem,
Letting “I dare not” wait upon “I would, ”
Like the poor cat i' th' adage?
What beast was ’t, then,
That made you break this enterprise to me?
When you durst do it, then you were a man;
And to be more than what you were, you would
Be so much more the man. Nor time nor place''
For my next lesson I will look through my monologue in a detailed way so I could understand the monologue and understand my character.
