Why a Soliloquy Counts as Evidence
Captions available
The idea
Characters lie to each other and the audience must weigh them. By convention a character alone is not performing, so a soliloquy is the closest a play comes to the reliable narration units ten and eleven had. That is why exam questions cluster on them.
In practice
The closest drama gets to reliable telling.
Where people slip
Questions cluster here for that reason.
