Personal Beelzebub's Skies

Improved Essays
To begin, the monologue I have chosen is written very literally with concise sentences. Correspondingly, the character (George) who I am playing has a very straightforward goal in his monologue. With this said, George is telling someone that he has a “personal beelzebub” who has taken his toes. Due to this, George reveals several goals all related to his toe taking beelzebub. George wants to get his toes back while not losing anymore to his personal beelzebub. In addition, he’d like to take away some of his personal beelzebub’s toes. To begin, George starts out by informing us that he has a arch nemesis. He says “My Diablo. My personal Beelzebub…...He’s a good one. He’s a damn good one. He got my toe last week. That is the only toe I plan to …show more content…
George plans on getting his toes back and taking his personal beelzebub’s toes with him. This can be displayed when George says, “What you wanna bet I win tonight? What you wanna bet? Anything. I’ll bet you anything I win tonight. I’ll bet you a toe I get his toe tonight. HA! That would be two toes I could win. That would be fifteen toes. Or twenty four.” This phrase shows the passion George has for achieving his goals. He is eager and ready to go after what he wants. The need to get his toes back and take away the toes of his personal beelzebub is feeding his confidence in winning the game. Finally, George ends his monologue by announcing “You wanna bet a toe I get his toe? Nah, you don’t wanna bet that.” This last sentence is a confident reminder to himself and his listener that he will indeed be taking away some toes. This is said without a doubt because George plans on winning the game, as aforementioned, against his personal beelzebub while getting his toes back. In conclusion, this character’s monologue is written with a very clear goal. George’s main objective is to take back his toes (while keeping the ones he has left) and he will not back down until he
