Why I chose Goneril from King Lear

Goneril's character largely contrasts with Joey's in the actions of pure evil and selfishness. Goneril is vicious, aggressive for a female character, and unforgiving in her attemps to access what she wants whether it causes death or injury. She is to be feared and not sympathised with.

I really like her character because she is so careless about any other characters wants or desires or even pain. She attempts no redemption or even acknowledgement that her actions are evil actions. Se is strong, savage, independant, and determined; an interesting and respectably twisted character to play.

Furthermore, her monologue/speech carries out variations of emotion from her including, anger, frustration, too manipulation and slyness, all the while involving an undercurrent of authority over her audience.
