Introdcution 

There are two main types of monologue:
1.       Interior
2.       Dramatic
An interior monologue involves a character externalizing their thoughts so that the audience can witness experiences that would otherwise be mostly internal.
A dramatic monologue involves one character speaking to another character.

Let’s look at the meaning of the words to figure out what a dramatic monologue is?
·       Dramatic

1.       Dramatic means striking and, or effective
2.       Mono – from the Greek word monos – means alone or one.

3.       Logue – from the Greek word logos - indicates speech of a particular kind (as in travelogue or dialogue).
