Answer 1

Famous line:
"We are such stuff
As dreams are made on and our little life
Is rounded with a sleep..."

Prospero has consented to the marriage of his daughter and Ferdinand in this whimsical play about reconciling with family, forgiveness, and faith in the future. Prospero lives on a magical island with his daughter, Miranda, and a host of spirits and sprites. He was banished by his brother over a decade ago, and has now used his magic to cause the ship on which his brother and King Alonso and his entourage were sailing to come under his influence. They have been shipwrecked on Prospero's island, and a series of magical events occur. When Miranda and Ferdinand are about to marry, Prospero speaks the famous line which celebrates that uniquely human blend of mind and matter.


The complete monologue:

Our revels now are ended. These our actors,
As I foretold you, were all spirits, and
Are melted into air, into thin air:
And like the baseless fabric of this vision,
The cloud-capp'd tow'rs, the gorgeous palaces,
The solemn temples, the great globe itself,
Yea, all which it inherit, shall dissolve,
And, like this insubstantial pageant faded,
Leave not a rack behind. We are such stuff
As dreams are made on; and our little life
Is rounded with a sleep.
--Shakespeare's The Tempest Act 4, Scene 1, 148-158

I don't know how long you want it to be, but a fairly easy one is Beatrice's monologue from Much Ado About Nothing that starts: "What fire is in mine ears?" Also, the beginning of Romeo and Juliet has a good monologue, though it is really just an introduction to the play.

Answer 6

Hamlet's "to be or not to be".

Synopsis: Buddy kills Daddy, marries Mommy and cuts Jr. out of the will. Hamlet asks himself " Do I just put up with this and suffer the loss of land and status, or do I do something about it, and in doing so bring a lot of trouble upon myself?

Answer 7

Macbeth. Is this a dagger i see before me, the handle toward my hand. Art thou, fatal vision, sensible to feeling as to sight? Come, let me clutch thee..
U'll have to check out the play for the rest. A synopsis is fairly self-explanatory. Hope this helps.

Answer 9

I rather like Jean le Pucelle's "Dauphin, I am by birth a shepherd's daughter...." It's Joan of Arc's plea to fight for her country, with beautiful language. Not too long, and easy to remember.

Answer 10

Okay so I had to do this monolouge its quite easy. (and fun =])

'Tis but thy name that is my enemy;
Thou art thyself, though not a Montague.
What's Montague? it is nor hand, nor foot,
Nor arm, nor face, nor any other part
Belonging to a man. O, be some other name!
What's in a name? that which we call a rose
By any other name would smell as sweet;
So Romeo would, were he not Romeo call'd,
Retain that dear perfection which he owes
Without that title. Romeo, doff thy name,
And for that name which is no part of thee
Take all myself.
