Warm-up –review Diagramming

 Julius Caesar Acts IV £

Review Academic Language terms £


Soliloquy-a long, usually serious speech that a character in a play makes to an audience and that reveals the character's thoughts£

Aside- a comment spoken by a character in a play that is heard by the audience but is supposedly not heard by other characters on stage £

Dramatic monologues are usually long emotional speeches that express the feelings, actions, motives and views of the speaker or character either as a solo performance or as an individual part in a play. Dramatic monologues should not be confused with a soliloquy. Soliloquies are when someone talks to themselves about their thoughts and feelings concerning a situation, soliloquies imply that there is no audience.
