It seems to me that part of the challenge here is to find
a monologue where the greatest amount of emotional display can be present to highlight
your skill at acting. There are many passages from which to choose. When Juliet learns
of her cousin Tybalt's death at the hands of Romeo, there is a great deal of emotional
contrast in the passage in Act 3, scene 2. This might be a passage to take because in
order to pull it off, there has to be a great deal of emotional complexity. There is
grief, mixed with anger, and underscored by total confusion. To display an emotional
range, this passage might be one to consider. If one wanted to select a passage of
unending grief and a sense of despondency to be displayed, Friar Laurence's unenviable
task of explaining everything to everyone at the end of the play might be another
option. It seems to me that the actor here has to possess an almost unending reservoir
of pain and hurt as the story of both lovers, now dead, is
retold.
