Suitability

As I started to analyse and rehearse this monologue I noticed that this monologue was very appropriate for me.
The first reason why it is appropriate for me is because it is from a play that I am very familiar with. I have studied the play 'A Midsummer Nights Dream' in previous subjects at school. This was a big advantage because it meant that I already had an understanding of both the play and the characters. This is an advantage because it meant that I spent less time researching to try to understand the plot of the ply and the character relationships and more time rehearsing, learning my lines, building my character and applying my movement and vocal skills accordingly.
The second reason why this monologue was suitable for me was because of the passionate personality that the character had. During the monologue she was speaking about her role in the fantasy world and her job to serve the fairy Queen. She was very proud of her job and carried out tasks with enthusiasm. When speaking to Puck, a spirit of a lower status, she spoke of her Queen with passion and pride. I can relate to this as the situation that I was in, performing a piece of drama, I felt very proud and passionate about. This allowed me to portray her specific emotions and characteristics by being the her situation.
