Blood, Toil, Tears, and Sweat

In Weston Churchill’s speech, “Blood, Toil, Tears, and Sweat,” as Prime Minister of Britain, he uses a serious and powerful tone to let his voice be herd.  He wants to people to know what has to be done and lets them know the only choice they have is victory; nothing less then victory will be accepted. Churchill lets them know with a serious tone from the beginning that the nation has to fight this war “to a victorious conclusion.” His powerful words are a big part of the speech. A big part of Winston Churchill’s speech is when he says, “I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears, and sweat.” Showing his people he is giving all he has to defend his country and obtain victory. He stands up and says they will give all they have got, by sea, land and air, and all the strength God has given them. With his powerful voice, he concludes by saying, "come them, let us go forward together with our united strength."

  1. This was a great monologue to use for low-key theater auditions. It was powerful and dramatic and made a good setting/ impact.
