Monologue Example

I’m Edmund from “The Chronicles of Narnia: the Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe”. In my story I entered a magical land that was under a spell of eternal winter with my siblings. I met a witch who promised me power, and I let the greed of potential power affect my reasoning. I betrayed my siblings by abandoning them and going to the witch with information about their whereabouts. I found out that my siblings and I were the saviors of the land that would help defeat the witch, and she wanted us dead. In the end I was saved by the great Aslan who made a deal with the witch to save me, and my siblings and I defeated the witch and her army to save Narnia. My character is said to be an allegory representation of Kane from the bible. Just like Kane, I taught readers a lesson in betrayal and showed that even the most innocent person is capable of causing harm. My story was also set in WWII, and showed the history of how parents would send children out of their home country to avoid the war. We study my story today because it is an engaging tale that puts a spin on a familiar religious story, and I feel that readers can learn from my mistakes. Despite the fantasy of my story, readers are able to relate to my family and me as children who seek their purpose in the world with some bumps along the way.
