Movie :The Great Dictator (1940)

Character name : Charlie Chaplin as the Barber

Monologue text : “I’m sorry, but I don’t want to be an emperor. That’s not my business. I don’t want to rule or conquer anyone. I should like to help everyone if possible—Jew, Gentile, Black man, White. We all want to help one another. Human beings are like that. We want to live by each other’s happiness—not by each other’s misery. We don’t want to hate and despise one another. In this world, there is room for everyone. The good earth is rich and can provide for everyone. The way of life can be free and beautiful. Let us fight for a better world—one where science and progress lead to happiness. Let us unite, not divide.”Analysis: 

The tone of this scene is emotional, serious, and inspiring. The barber speaks honestly and clearly. He wants people to live in peace, not in hate or fear.

Background: Earlier in the film, the Jewish barber is mistaken for the dictator. Now he stands in front of a large audience, ready to speak.

Now: Instead of using power for control, he chooses to speak about love, freedom, and equality. He says we should support each other and live by happiness, not misery.

Next: His words bring hope and courage to the people.

Importance: This scene is the most powerful part of the film. It shares a message about peace, unity, and a better future for all people.
