Home > Dramatic monologue

A dramatic monologue occurs when a character in fiction or in history speaks at a critical moment. The monologue is usually directed toward a silent audience, with the speaker's words influenced by a critical situation. An example of a dramatic monologue exists in My Last Duchess by Robert Browning, when a duke speaks to an emissary of his cruelty. Another example is The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock by T. S. Eliot.
