About this piece
Eleanor tells Gloucester that everybody hates her
Summary
Eleanor is the wife of Gloucester, the Protector of England. She has been arrested for conspiring against King Henry VI by consulting a witch. She is banished from the Kingdom and for penance she has to walk around London barefoot with her crimes written on papers pinned all over her dress. In this monologue she tells her husband how everybody looks at her with hate. She argues that as being the wife of the Protector of England she shouldn't be punished this way. She finally tells Gloucester that his fall will come soon as Beaufort, Suffolk and Somerset are planning his downfall
