Résumé
Entrance monologues are one of the most striking features of the characters in Seneca’s tragedy that we don’t find in his Attic models. Often seen as a psychological parenthesis, this specificity is supposed to create a break in the dramatic action. However, if we go back to the text of those scenes, we can understand them as a theatrical device : they allow the entering character to give life to his mask and prepare his meeting with other characters. Entrance monologues are linked with physical descriptions and create a dramatic tension at every new entrance of a character in the play.
