The Monument Characters

The Monument Character List

First Speaker

The first speaker is concerned about the monument because it is an art that demonstrates the significance of one's expressions. To open the subject under discussion, the first speaker poses the question, 'Now can you see the monument?' Further, the first speaker goes ahead to offer a vivid description of the monument by stating its location and significance. The first speaker's objective is to convince the second speaker to understand the importance of the memorial and art at large. Unfortunately, the second speaker disagrees with the speaker, arguing that the monument has no significance, concluding that art is useless.

Second Speaker

The first speaker convinces the second speaker to accept the realities of art and its significance. When the first speaker takes the second speaker to see the monument, the second speaker asks the question, "Why did you bring me here to see it? A temple of crates in cramped and crated scenery, what can it proves? I am tired of breathing this eroded air, this dryness in which the monument is cracking." In all aspects, the second speaker is not convinced by the first speaker to accept art's significance. The second speaker is a symbol of a contradictory worldview. The author also reminds readers that it is good to take others' opinions because they are entitled to describe things as they see them.
