Dramatic Monologue
Dr. Spock paced back and forth muttering to himself like a madman, pulling at his hair in his frenzied haste. “I just don’t understand, it doesn’t make any sense,” he muttered, desperately gazing at the wall before him, covered with documents interconnected with a web of red strings. He quickly gazed up at me, his eyes bloodshot and skin a pallor grey, “We must do the impossible” he whispered so quietly that I had to strain to hear him, “We must open the portal.”
“No,” I said in a shaky voice, “It’s unstable, the machine is unpredictable and uncontrollable! The risks are too great, we cannot!” Dr. Spock tightly gripped my shoulders and gazed into my drained face, “We must, it’s the only way to full understand the family dynamics of the past, …show more content…
My heart dances, but not for joy, not joy. This entertainment may a free face put on, derive liberty from heartiness, from bounty, fertile bosom, and well become the agent. ‘T may, I grant. But to be paddling palms and pinching fingers, as now they are, and making practiced smiles as in a looking glass, and then to sigh, as ‘twere the mort o’th’deer- O, that is entertainment my bosom likes not, nor my brows!”’ The King paused after spotting Mamilluis and beckoned him, his faced ravaged with crazed jealously and doubt.

“Yes, if you will, my lord,” Mamilluis responded and scurried away after some more conversation.
I listened intently on the conversation and took note of the word play and emotions exchanged between the two. Who referenced their father as “my lord” and what father questioned the legitimacy of their son by means of asking their child in question?

Over the next several hours I managed to acquire a servant uniform and gather as much as I can on King Leontes by sulking in the shadows, using the invisibility of the uniform to my advantage. Today, as I was dusting the drapes I witnessed King Leontes, Antigonus, and some servants enter the grand room.
“Nor night nor day no rest: it is but weakness to bear the matter thus: mere weakness. If the cause were not in being, part o’ the cause, she the adulteress; for the harlot king is quite beyond mine arm, out of the blank and level of my brain,” King Leontes stated. I tried to move closer to hear the rest but stumbled across the rug.
“Who’s there?” King Leontes
“No,” I said in a shaky voice, “It’s unstable, the machine is unpredictable and uncontrollable!
