1 Dramatic Terms

2 Speech by a person who is talking to himself or herself a character reveals his thoughts to the audience but not to other characters in the play. Hamlet’s famous soliloquy begins with the line “To be or not to be…”

3 the character is speaking his or her thoughts aloud, directly addressing another character, or speaking to the audience

4 a dramatic device in which a character speaks (NOT at length) to the audience without the other characters hearing what is said serves to reveal a character's thoughts or concerns to the audience

5 Conversation or speech characterized by quick, witty comments EXAMPLE Lady Nancy Astor to Winston Churchill: “"Winston, if you were my husband, I'd put poison in your coffee." Churchill famously replied: “ "Nancy, if you were my wife, I'd drink it."

6 A pun is a figure of speech which consists of a deliberate confusion of similar words or phrases for rhetorical effect, whether humorous or serious EX: Sir Lancelot once had a very bad dream about his horse. It was a knight mare.
