A dramatic monologue is a text which is written by someone to be performed through spoken language by another person, it is also written for a written text which is a form of written language. Dramatic monologues are written for one person and are used to show the deep emotions of one character and what that character is thinking in that moment, it could also be portrayed as an argument with themselves as the could be having a battle between two ideas- Angel & Devil- one idea is something good and can help them/ others whereas the other is a bad idea which could be possibly harm others or is just not the right thing to do.
Dramatic monologues are used in plays, speeches, lectures, novels- introductions to characters- to understand a dramatic monologue, you will need to know the context as this helps to know the reason for the use of the monologue.
Sentence structure and punctuation is core in a good monologue as it enables the speaker to know the flow of the monologue- where to pause, where to raise their voice, where to stop, where to speed up.
Written by Melone and Leonita.
