Question: Can anyone help me with my monologue!?
I am acting out a male character who abuses many women who are portrayed as toys in the performance!. There is a ballerina, puppet, teddy bear, rag doll and barbie!. I am hoping to find some kind of confession from a real life story to include in my monologue, any ideas/lyrics from songs etc would really help! Thank you Www@QuestionHome@Com

I don't know any real life story that would reflect these suggested toys!.!.!.

I usually draw my inspiration from 'first impression' and build up my character backgrounds from it!.

based on your list, here are my first impression!.

Ballerina - Dance
Puppet - Control
Teddy Bear - Childhood
Rag Doll - Abandon
Barbie - Girly Girl

See if you can come up a first impression, or the first word that associate with them!.!.!. and build a story from there!.

For example, "Puppet - Control" this character could have a self-control issues, or does not like to be controlled!. The woman whom he abused may be a controlling wife, a controlling sister, a controlling girlfriend!.!.or someone who refuses to be controlled by you!. Be creative!. Www@QuestionHome@Com
