A dialogue is a conversation in which two or more Annie's take part

A monologue is a speech in which only one person speaks. In a play this can be where a character speaks aloud his thoughts or emotions, advancing the story without "action."

An example of a monologue is the well known speech from Shakespeare's Macbeth that begins, "To be or not to be..."

In the theater, the definition of a monologue is normally either

  1. an extended section of script in which one character speaks or lectures without others interacting, or
  2. a speech, varying in size, that an actor recites at an audition so that the auditioners can get an idea of their talent, usually taken from 1 (above).
mon·o·logue/ˈmänlˌôg/">mon·o·logue/ˈmänlˌôg/Noun:
  1. A long speech by one actor in a play or movie, or as part of a theatrical or broadcast program.
  2. The form or style of such speeches.


A monologue is one person speaking to the exclusion of others. It can be a comedian or actor on stage alone. Or, it can be a person monopolizing the conversation by talking on and on preventing others from speaking.

What is a speech by one person or a character in a play?

a prologue is said by a chorus to say what is happening.


In the word monolog what does the suffix logue mean?

Two meanings:1. It can mean a "specific form of writing" like a Prologue (at the start of a book) Dialogue (spoken between two people) or Decalogue (a list of 10 -- specifically the Ten Commandments.)2. Or it can refer to a student in a specific field: a Sinologue is a student of Sinology (Chinese language literature and culture)


What is a good topic to write a monolog on help lol?

My drama teacher tells us to think of something that's happened to you personally, but don't make it obvious that you're talking about you. So base it around something that's happened to you, like a partner leaving you, or the loss of a family member, but then elaborate on it. For example, your boyfriend could leave you, but he could also take your child, whilst leaving you for someone else. You could always do a more cheery monologue, like telling your audience about how you've been in love with this one person for a long time, and now you know that they feel the same way. Either way, the best advice I've ever been given is to make it extreme, it has to be so intense that it'll make people cry with sadness, or laugh/cry with happiness. I find it harder to do the sad ones, but if you work at it they always end up being best. Good luck! :)
