Script Extract #3Script Extract #3 (Exercise 4)Karin’s monologue, from Scene 12.Karin:The bright ones will wait till the door opens. God will come. They say that I can make ithappen. And I am ready and I’m so excited. And in that moment I know that I have a thinginside me that is better than anything I actually do when I’m here with all of you. I know youunderstand what I’m talking about, like Max does.If there was a place you could go to, where that better part of you could live, you would gowouldn’t you?Who’s to say which place is the dream? It feels real to be there and it feels better. I can’t usewords to describe it like you would, but when I’m not in that place it’s like I’m suffering aloss. I ache to go back.But then the voices come and tell me to do things I don’t want to do. And all my certaintygoes and I get confused again and I can’t make any sense of it.I wonder then, is this because I’m ill? Or is it just because I’m torn between worlds? I’m inagony because I suddenly see my own confusion … and it’s terrifying.I know it’s not as bad for me as for some people. Those poor people in the hospital. Theytold me terrible things. And the screaming.I know I’m not like that but what scares me is the confusion, that’s when I think I’mdangerous.51Resource Pack: Through A Glass Darkly by Ingmar Bergman
