Classical Monologues!

Alot of performing arts program auditions require not only a contempory monologue (which seem to be everyone on this board!) but a classic monologue as well.

I've been using the "Who might be your mother" speech (Rosalind) from Shakespeare's As You Like It, but I was looking for something new.

What classical monologues do you use?

They're both kind of short, but I like Portia from The Merchant of Venice ("The quality of mercy is not strained...") and Emilia from Othello ("But I do think it is their husbands' faults...")
