The Victim by Frank Wedekind
The monologue is about a girl who meets a man who falls in love with her, she is very innocent and doesn't know what to do and asks for advice from her friend. The girl slowly falls in love with the man and the man changes, he suddenly is cold towards her and doesn't want to kiss her goodbye, although she asks. The girl doesn't know what she has done and tries very hard to please this man, who is finally happy when she 'proves' her love and then moves in to his flat to be his mistress. His happiness and content doesn't last long as he moves and leaves her without any warning for another woman, out of sadness and hurt, it is hinted that the girl now works at a brothel.
The innocence in this monologue is radiated by her nativity towards her situation, almost like she doesn't want to see the truth because she knows it will only disappoint her. 'Then I wrote it down and asked Cilly,',  'I decided to ask Cilly' and 'I asked Cilly.' shows she wants to hear from someone else what is happening, she can not face the truth by herself, I think she needs to hear it out loud from someone else to be able to see exactly what he's doing as she thinks its her that has done something wrong. Cilly is a trusted person in her life and she uses her name and repeats it, when no other name is mentioned. This also includes an element of mystery as you never know anyone's name apart from Cilly, you don't know much about them at all, the girl always refers to the man as 'My lover' or simply 'him'. As she is speaking of the past I think this shows denial and unwillingness to face what happened, as I think she is holding him accountable of what she turned into. I think this because the audience are never given a chance to like the character as he is so anonymous and unknown to them, they are only given small details about his life that aren't enough to form an opinion, and at the end she says 'My lover had told me that there were women in Zurich who took young girls to sell them and to suck their last drop of blood. I asked a policeman who saw me sitting on a street corner where to find such a woman.' like it was his idea and without him saying that, she never would have taken that road. 
I also think the way the piece is grammatically written is effective, the short sentences and comer breaks mixed with the long sentences gives the impression that a lot of information is being given, when it is not. They also show her negativity towards the situation. 'It was midwinter, one evening at nine o'clock. I had been at work two years.' the information is almost list like and this sets the opening of the monologue as quite abrupt and gives the feeling that she doesn't want to dwell on what happened. The danger is shown at the beginning of the piece by the storm and her 'slipping' as well as the men looking at her, and she takes it as flattery, also showing innocence. The night she meets 'her lover' is the night of a terrible storm which reflects in the danger we expect from the title 'The Victim' we expect something horrible to happen from the start.
