I need it to reference her speech when he leaves her stranded on the island....Is it in the Iliad? Help!

Unfortunately, this story has been told a dozen different ways by a dozen different authors.

In the Odyssey, she is slain by Artemis before even spending one night with Theseus. Hesiod decides that Theseus ditched her on the island Naxos while she was asleep. Some versions have Dionysus (the patron of Naxos) fall in love with Ariadne and force Theseus away. Other authors just paint Ariadne as fickle, falling in love with Theseus one moment and then leaving him for someone else in the next.

With so many accounts, you can take your pick. But you're not likely to find a soliloquy of the kind you describe in either Homer or Hesiod...
