What is locating the monologue in the play?Show answer
A monologue is a fragment of a larger play, and it cannot be interpreted in isolation. Locating it means knowing exactly what happens immediately before and after, where the speech sits in the structure of the play, who the character is speaking to, and what they want in this precise moment. This placement tells you the emotional starting point, the turning points, and the destination of the speech.
