What play is your speech from? (title, plot – keep it brief, key themes/issues, time period)

Who is the character that you are playing? (name/age/class/time period) What is the importance of the role in the text?

Where does your speech fit into the play?

What is happening in the play? What purpose does the monologue serve?
