Exclamation marks are great to show which type of emotions? _________________________

When we want to show a pause in speaking (or when a character's voice trails off to nothing) we use a certain type of punctuation. Do you know what it looks like?

This is called an ellipsis.

Review your work on the previous picture and rewrite (edit) it to include both of these types of punctuation.

Recap on what we have discussed...

Mrs Dumpton's monologue (Scene 8)

(See worksheets)

Label the above mini-monologue with the following terms: ellipsis, stage directions, emotive language, dramatic irony, character name and scene setting.

Thoughts and feelings

Have a guess at what the people in each picture are feeling / thinking about the situation.

So what's a soliloquy?

A soliloquy is a device often used in drama when a character speaks to himself or herself, relating thoughts and feelings, thereby also sharing them with the audience. Other characters, however, are not aware of what is being said.

Picture 2

This time include the ellipsis

and the exclamative (a sentence / phrase using a !) first time. You have to write 5 sentences at least.

Write 3 sentences of how you think this character would speak to the opposite character. Remember this is a Monologue so no response from the other character!

Monologue - what is your definition?

In theatre, a monologue is presented by a single character, most often to express their thoughts aloud, though sometimes also to directly address another character or the audience.

Persuasive techniques can also be used in monologues to convince the audience or other characters to agree to something that the speaker wants.

Look out for repetition, humour, tripling, emotive language and effective body language (or gesture).

Body language

(gesture and movements)

I hate the way you talk to me

And the way you cut your hair

I hate the way you drive my car

I hate it when you stare

I hate your big dumb combat boots

And the way you read my mind

I hate you so much that it makes me sick

It even makes me rhyme

I hate the way you're always right

I hate it when you lie

I hate it when you make me laugh

Even worse when you make me cry

I hate the way you're not around

And the fact that you didn't call

But mostly I hate the way I don't hate you

Not even close, not even a little bit, not even at all

What are Mrs Dumpton's thoughts and feelings here? Highlight and make notes of your ideas.

... I don't know that I want to. I've been all right here, away from it all.
