Question

Why would a playwright use a soliloquy instead of a monologue? (1 point)
• to give the audience historical context about the setting of the play
O to reveal the character's true motivation and most honest feelings
• to develop an idea the playwright wants the audience to know about
• to inform the audience about how one character feels about another

Answer 1

A playwright would use a soliloquy instead of a monologue to **reveal the character's true motivation and most honest feelings**. A soliloquy allows the character to speak their innermost thoughts directly to the audience, providing insight into their internal struggles, desires, and emotions without the influence of other characters.
