00:15

chekhov from siegel Remember jonathan livingston do you shammond circuit

00:48

soliloquy so little liquid that thing And here the potential

00:53

answers man All right Well knowing basic dramatic turns like

01:00

say soliloquy is super helpful here But even if you

01:03

thought you were too cool for drama club you can

01:05

still nail this question There's a clue in the first

01:08

three letters of the words soul lil a quick the

01:12

soul s o l reminds us of the word solo

01:16

which we all know described when somebody does something by

01:20

him or herself So this gives us a hint that

01:23

a soliloquy is something a character says when they're alone

01:27

alone except for the audience anyway So if the audience

01:30

weren't there to hear it well nobody would hear it

01:32

at all And will a qui is spoken in the

01:35

theater but no one's there to hear it Does it

01:36

make a sound deep Thoughts from shmoop Okay now that

01:40

we know what it's like with all we have to

01:42

do is scan through the passage and find the one

01:44

quote that spoken one in character is all by their

01:47

lonesome so we can eliminate a because when sham ref

01:50

says my dear madam he is speaking to madame arkadina

01:55

Option b is also a no go when arkadina gets

01:58

all diva and says that she's booking it back to

he refuse anything to matter Mcadoo you know the famous

02:10

actress well she's gossiping with polina alright looks like choice

02:14

d's The way to go the stage directions give us

02:17

a big hint that we've got a soliloquy on our

02:20

hands by illness that nina is alone when she starts

02:23

reflecting on how famous people are well people too For

02:26

the record we don't advise that you do A lot

02:28

of talking yourself in public is when they haul you

02:30
