Question

dramatic elements quick check
why would a playwright include soliloquies in a dramatic text? (1 point)
○ to convey the tone one character uses with another character.
○ to develop the characters by revealing their emotions and private thoughts.
○ to show how the main character interacts with others.
○ to increase the tension by having two characters argue with each other.

Explanation:

A soliloquy is a speech a character delivers alone, expressing inner feelings and unspoken thoughts. This directly reveals private perspectives, which is key for character development. Other options involve interaction between characters (tone with another, interaction with others, arguing), which soliloquies do not focus on.

Answer:

To develop the characters by revealing their emotions and private thoughts.
