The following is an example I created of a monologue for the character Biff from “Death of a Salesman.”

This is a monologue because Biff is talking for a long period of time. This is a monologue because he is talking to Willy.

This monologue would fit into the current plot when Biff, Happy, and Willy are in the restaurant and Willy keeps interrupting Biff. Biff is trying to explain what happened with Oliver

Biff: You are not listening Dad! I am unhappy with the choices I have made in the past several years, so I returned home to this family. I returned from my life on the farm for family and myself even though my own father does not support that life, but still I continued to follow in your footsteps. My entire life my you had supported me especially my football career in High School. I should have tried harder and focused more in school specifically in math class. Mom has been a constant support throughout my life, even though I do sleep around. I went to Oliver like you wanted and he had no idea who I was. My entire life I have felt pressured to follow in your footstep’s and your career. So in the end that’s what I did; I pleased you and mom but sooner or later a man realizes what his true feelings are. I didn’t want or have any interest in a salesman’s career and that is why I stopped going to school and went to a farm. I would never be happy in that firm, I am sorry Dad but I can’t please you anymore.
