Prepare a monologue on a character choose from! any of the chapters you studied in literature.

Answer 1

A monologue is a long speech by a single character in a theatre production or film. Monologues can either be addressing other characters in the scene, or they can be one character talking to themselves or to the audience. The word monologue is made up of the Greek roots for alone and speak, and it is the counterpart of the word dialogue, which comes from the Greek word for conversation.

Monologues serve a specific purpose in storytelling—to give the audience more details about a character or about the plot. Used carefully, they are a great way to share the internal thoughts or backstory of a character or to give more specific details about the plot
