Monologue Guide Sheet Hum 8

Lit Circle Final task Hum 8 2011 Caldwell


You are going to prepare a monologue based on one of the characters of your novel. Your group must decide who will become who as you cannot duplicate characters.

A monologue is:

• You are becoming the character
• You are sharing something about them through your eyes
• You are sharing a point of view
• A long uninterrupted speech told by one person.
• What s/he thinks, feels wonders is expressed
• You need to share what is going on in your head with your audience
• It is oral
• Fluency ,voice and diction are very important


In your monologue you are going to:

• You should begin by mentioning your qualities



• Talk about decisions you have made in your life.



• You will want to refer to moments you have experienced



• How the setting has influenced your decisions.



• How your interactions and relationships with other characters have influenced your decisions.



• You should include how your relationship is affected by others decisions made by you or others.




• You need to try to bring about the conflict/ the problem the character(you) had to face and how s/he(you) went about solving it. What decisions did they have to face and what did they do about them.
• How did you react to certain people, situations in a certain place etc… these are all things you should include in your monologue.












• You want to expose your characters inner thoughts. (this will help you provide insight into your character) Things I have done or not done, people I have know and loved, hated, feared almost forgotten, never forgiven, favourite stories, questions, wonderings, I think about, crazy ways to solve conflict










Also when you start:
• You need to let your audience know where and when you are talking(where it is taking place)




• What is going on at the scene




• What emotions you are feeling at the moment ( I am feeling angry because…



• What do I want to convey? (humour, anger, frustration, confusion, introspection, determination…)



Hints: The more an actor believes in the situation the more the audience will believe it.
