Soliloquy

I hate this woman, the Oracle. "You will never have a son, but your grandson may kill you". I just can't believe it. I hate her, but she's the Oracle, what she says, becomes true. I always knew this woman will bring chaos. Everywhere she goes, destruction goes with her. I don't know what to do. What should I do? I fear the gods, I can't go against the Oracle. I can't kill Danae, Should I leave this city and let Danae live her life? Should I kill myself!? Or should I lock her in a room? Oh wait. That's a great idea. Think this Acrisius, think cleverly. I lock her in a room, a woman will be her only visit, she could give her food, water and something to do but she would never see a boy. When I'm dead, she can do whatever she wants. Brillant idea Acrisius, that's how you got this marvellous kingdom. But, how do I tell her I will lock her in a room if she is my daughter? Tonight, after the ball! I'll do it quickly and the guards will take her to her room. Her servant will be Laura, my assistant and this should be kept as a secret. After all I will tell the kingdom she went in a long trip. Excelent. I'd better have a bath before tonight, I'm very anxious and nervous.
