Here is AN ADDITIONAL ALTERNATIVE PROJECT.

Find a monologue from the website link below. Print out a monologue of your choosing that is from a different play than the one we studied in class (so Theatre 1 choose a monologue NOT from Midsummer Night's Dream) and then fill out a character study paper for that character's monologue. If you aren't familiar with the play, use the Summary of Shakespeare Plays button to read more about your play!
