can a monolouge have more than one character?

Question

i know a monolouge is done by one sigle person but, can there be 2 or more characters? cause when i searched for monolouges of merchant of venice, there were at least 2 characters in each..

Answer 1

Yes. Often the character is talking TO someone, not WITH someone.

Answer 2

Nope. mono meaning one. If it contained two or more people, it'd be a dialogue.

There may be secenes where there is more than person in it, and then one person does a monologue. The difference is that the monologue is only between that actor and the audience, and most times audible only to the audience, so when the monologue ends, the scene continues with everyone else in it completely oblivious to that monologue, it serves as a device to explain a character's thoughts.

Answer 4

There CAN be other character's that are supposedly present but only ONE person speaks the entire time.

Say the main person is talking, asks another person a question and the script has the other person answer...you just skip over it but go on with your next lines in reaction to their answer or what not.

So yeah, there can be others present (but not literally)...but only one person is supposed to do the whole thing

Answer 5

A monologue is spoken by one person but can include any number of characters.

Answer 6

well a monologue is basically just one guy telling a story, he can introduce other charectors and portray them anyway he likes but he is the only person that can tell the story.
