"The Brute" Monologue Assignment

Choose a character from Anton Chekhov’s play, “The Brute”, and write a 1-2 minute internal monologue for that character. An internal monologue is one that reveals something of the character’s internal thoughts. Your character’s monologue should show his/her attitude toward another character, or events he/she finds him/herself in. Be convincing!

- Introduce the character through his/her view of him/herself.
- Explain the situation from his/her perspective in great detail (from HIS/HER eyes, NOT necessarily the way the author wrote about it).
- Describe his/her thoughts about the situation.
- Finish with a “clincher” that shows his/her true attitude toward the situation.
