A playwright wrote a play that consists of a series of soliloquies delivered by different characters about their fondest childhood memories. Which choice best describes a downside of using this approach?

Question

A. The characters are not fully developed.
B. The characters’ stories are not interesting.
C. There is no way to judge the characters’ honesty.
D. There is no interaction between the characters.

Answer 1

The best choice that describes a downside of using this approach is:

D. There is no interaction between the characters.

Since the play consists solely of soliloquies, characters express their thoughts and memories without engaging with each other, which can limit the complexity and dynamism that often comes from character interactions.
