00:13

tempest Bye Willy shakes right here Member antonio's a bastion

00:18

of tony's basket They're going on about tunis and naples

00:38

answers Not along absolutely dialogue Meselson all right well we've

00:43

got two characters talking here so we need a word

00:46

that reflects the situation but we don't know the necessary

00:49

vocab Well full not the root words will take us

00:52

a long way For example we can cut choice eh

00:55

Right away monologue because we know that mono comes from

01:00

greek mono so meaning single or alone log actually comes

01:05

from the greek word logos which means speech or word

01:09

So we know that a monologue is when one character

01:12

is speaking Unless these two characters are actually one guy

01:15

with multiple personalities thiss passage can't be a monologue option

01:19

B isn't right either soliloquy comes from the latin solace

01:24

which means alone and low key which means to speak

01:28

so like monologues soliloquies happen on lee when one character

01:33

is speaking fun fact the difference between monologues and soliloquies

01:38

is that in monologues characters talkto other characters while in

01:42

soliloquies characters talk to themselves like in hamlets hole to

of a stage production or film Sats lights camera angles

02:03

can all factor into meselson Try using this word as

02:06

much as possible You'll sound smart diesel scent all right

02:10

the correct answer is c dialogue die meaning to and

02:14

we already learned that log means speech so we've got

02:17

two guys speaking right end of discussion Dialogue also refers

02:21

to when multiple characters air speaking but we figure the

02:24

word multi log and just sounded too weird to whoever 00:02:27.153 --> [endTime] came up with
