3.Juliet from Romeo and Juliet: "Thou knowst the mask of night is on my face..."
4.Stepdaughter from Six Characters in Search of an Author: Fountain monologue
5.Cleopatra from Antony and Cleopatra: "Give me my robe; put on my crown..."
6.Lady Macbeth from Lady Macbeth: "Come you spirits"/Milk of human kindness monologue
7.Joan la Pucelle from King Henry VI: "Dauphin, I am by birth a shepherd's daughter"
8.Titania from A Midsummer Night’s Dream: "What angel wakes me from my flowery bed?..."
9.Viola from Twelfth Night: "I left no ring with her.."
10.Miranda from The Tempest: "One of my sex.."
11.Lili from Carnival!:
12. Meggie from The Thorn Birds: Thorn bird legend monologue

Please give me feedback and pointers for what I can do. Thank you in advance!

On second thought, is it a good idea to keep the Stepdaughter monologue from Six Characters in Search of an Author in my repertoire? It is metatheatrical, and I just read that monologues about theatre are risky.
On the other hand, I really like this monologue and think it has great potential since it is very complex. The monologue strikes a chord with me, and I think that I can really bring out my acting ability through this monologue.

As an update, I dropped Viola's ring speech from my repertoire since I found out that it was overdone.
I have also added Ondine's speech from Ondine, which begins, "No, Hans, I have taken my precautions."
