## Description

Shakespeare’s Monologues is an online resource dedicated to helping people find and work with speeches from Shakespeare’s plays. Established in 1997, the site offers a comprehensive database of monologues organized by play and categorized as comedy, history, or tragedy. Visitors can browse the collection or search for a particular speech, with options to explore monologues by men, women, or all characters.

Each entry identifies the character and gives the speech’s opening line, its verse or prose form, and its act, scene, and line reference. Entries also provide the monologue text and a link to the complete scene, helping users understand each speech in context. Monologues can be downloaded as print-ready, double-spaced documents for scansion and transcription. The site also features summaries of plays and scenes, along with modern-English paraphrases of individual monologues. Built for actors and used by a wider audience, Shakespeare’s Monologues makes the playwright’s speeches easier to discover, study, and prepare. The site notes that Shakespeare’s plays are in the public domain.
