Monologue- Shawshank Redemption/ Character- Red
[Red lays solemnly on his bed, inhaling the rough smoke of his musty tobacco.]
Forty years is a long time, long enough to deprive a person of any connection to the real world. I mean those cars, machines, children crying… I just couldn’t get used to them. Sometime I feel I’m standing in the eye of hurricane, the noises whipping around me like a gale. It’s a terrible thing to live in fear. All I’m doing is just lying here, smoking, unable to sleep. I look up and see old Brooks’s world from the beam, he gave up. That makes me more scared. He couldn’t cope with the real world, so he decided to release himself totally. Well, I guess I have become institutionalized like Brooks as, I can’t feel…show more content…
But fortunately, I was always able to handle myself, I don’t say much but people learnt to respect me and learnt that what I say I mean and I keep my word. My prison time was long enough to make connections and learn all those short cuts so I could supply inmates with their needs. My business helped me gain respect while I was doing my time and I kind of accepted my handle- ‘The guy who knows how to get things.’
For the first twenty years I made a life for myself like this and it was almost bearable. Then, Andy arrived with his bible. At first I thought he was weak and puny or just a poor kid with autism, then, he came to me and said: “I understand you’re a man who knows how to get things.” Then he asked for a rock hammer. I mean, if anyone have ever see that tiny hammer, they would not believe that’s what Andy used for his escape. He is the most patient person I have ever seen. God, I miss him.
I watched him writes letters every single week for two years to get we prisoners a library, what persistence! I mean, I’d have lost patience after one months! Well, the government ended up giving us books and money just to shut Andy up, it took Andy twelve years and more than a thousand letters. And all those prisoners who got a certification because of him? That just insane! This would never have happened without Andy. He was an all-round good bloke and the worst part for him was he’s innocent. Not ‘innocent’ like the rest of us, he really is.
