Lepida, has anyone ever told you that you're a cruel spiteful selfish slut?... You're vicious. You're unprincipled. You mistreat your slaves and abuse your daughter. And furthermore you're the worst, most neglectful, most criminal wife in Rome. I think we can go now.

About This Quote

The dialogue between Lepida and her mother is an example of a mother speaking to her daughter about being a bad person. The mother does not know how to talk to her daughter, therefore she resorts to a kind of abuse. In this case, her daughter was a slave and the mother was talking about how she is mistreating them. The whole dialogue is in Latin, which means that it is clearly an old conversation.
