Which of Shakespeare's Monologues are the shortest?

What are some young female monologues from published plays?

• I am looking for plays that have great monologues for female characters, preferably around the teenage years. I am not looking only for monologues, so please don't give me strictly monologues. I would like to know titles of plays that have strong monologues, no particular type of monologue, just one that is a female and preferably younger in age.

• Answer:

  My all time favorite monologue is from Saint Joan. It's a classic, and used a lot, but is truly powerful and I've never failed to get a role when I've used it. If your looking for Shakespeare, Mid Summer's Night Dream has a ton of great ones for female, some more comical, others serious. It's sorta hard to answer this because I'm not sure if you want comical, tragedy, contemporary, or classic. Nor do I know your acting style. I'd just keep that in mind next time you post questions regarding monologues.
