  3. Dramatic Adjective • Of or relating to drama or the performance or study of drama. • Sudden and striking • We’re focusing on the second definition – a striking moment or event

  4. Monologue Noun • A long speech by one actor in a play or movie • How could this apply in a poem?

  5. Dramatic Monologue • A speaker addresses a silent (or absent) listener during a moment of high intensity or deep emotion. *Must be in a poem

  6. 2. What can you learn about a character from a dramatic monologue? • What is the self-image of this character and his actual nature based on the dramatic monologue below? • “I am the humblest man that you’ll ever meet. I’m much more humble than my older brother.”

  7. “The Office” Soliloquy This will be question 3on your assignment. We are about to watch clips of characters from the TV show, “The Office.” After you watch each clip, take a minute to describe what you can determine about that character based on the clip that we watched. Differences with a monologue? - Not in a poem, if it was, it would be called a dramatic monologue

  9. Lost Count: A Love Story • During the 2008 Brave New Voices youth poetry slam in Washington, Nate Marshall, then a senior at Whitney Young Magnet High School, and Demetrius Amparan, a senior at Morgan Park High School, are on stage before a live audience. • They are performing "Lost Count: A Love Story," a spoken word poem that's an homage to the Chicago Public Schools children who were murdered that year. • "We started with 12 and over a two-year span ended with over 60 kids who were killed," said Amparan.

  11. Your Turn 4. Explain what a dramatic monologue is as if you were explaining to someone who didn’t know the term 5. Using our poem as an example, explain how the use of dramatic monologue can make a piece more powerful. Why might an author choose to use a dramatic monologue? (7-9 sentences) In the future… Create your own 10 line dramatic monologue in poem form. It does not need to rhyme, but your poem should have only one speaker and a silent or not present audience. In ten lines, your reader should be able to tell the personality of your speaker based on their conversation
