Monologue - Bernard Shaw's Misalliance

Misalliance is a play written in 1909-1910 by the Nobel Prize-winning playwright G. Bernard Shaw. It takes place entirely on a single Saturday afternoon in the conservatory of a large country house in Hindhead, Surrey in Victorian era England. It is a continuation of some of the ideas on marriage that he expressed in 1908 in his play, Getting Married. It was also a continuation of some of his other ideas on Socialism, physical fitness, the Life Force, and "The New Woman": ­i.e. women intent on escaping Victorian standards of helplessness, passivity, stuffy propriety, and non-involvement in politics or general affairs. Misalliance is an ironic examination of the mating instincts of a varied group of people gathered at a wealthy man's country home on a summer weekend. Most of the romantic interest centers on the host's daughter, Hypatia Tarleton, a typical Shaw heroine who exemplifies his life-long theory that in courtship, women are the relentless pursuers and men the apprehensively pursued(source: Wikipedia)

I agree with mendikam to the point of emotion. Intonations are ok

[LordFancourt]

What? Pay no attention to the previous post; he doesn't know what he's talking about. You did this with nuance and sincerity. Very well done, I say.

[mendikam]

um, yea your accent is very good but the intonations of your voice is not very sincere. it seems like you are reading without much emotion, you need to fix that if you want to be seriously.
