Example of monologue:
Moritz: I see humans everywhere, why can't I see humanity? Why can I not see humanity? The poor, oh, we are. Who's gonna feed us? The angel has gone back to heaven, oh, yes, she has. There are churches, mosques, and temples, but, why are we here?
On the other hand, drama can be performed more than one characters. We have protagonist as the good character and antagonist as the bad character. The problem is called conflict which sometimes has resolution. Drama is a general term for on stage art, that is performed on stage. Monologue is part of drama.
Example of Drama:
Antony: Have the Rome, let me have Egypt...then we shall live in peace.
Pompey: I have no peace in my memory.
Antony: Then you may have it now.
Pompey: (Raising the sword toward Antony) You have been teased for a long time that you forget how to be a man.
The last thing to discuss is Story Telling. It is a kind of entertainment on stage, but it is not drama. We do not dramatize it. The purpose is to tell a story to the audience/listener. To make the story interesting, a story teller uses gesture, mimics, hands clap, sounds imitation, eye movement, eyebrow movement, tones, accent, various voices, and so on. They sometimes wear supporting costume, but it is just to support the story telling, not the main focus of it.
Example of Story Telling:
The chicken walked through the crowd. Pawk, pawk, pawk...(sound of chicken). "Mother Hen," the fox asked, "Where are you going?" Mother Hen stopped and said, "I got a letter from God, and the letter is very important. I must take it to the palace and give it to the king."
Below are the examples of Drama, performed by Teater Koma, Story Telling by Jan Blake, and Monologue by the talented girl, Maddie Howard.
