A story is made into a fable because it is a short tale and tries to address moral ideals. It often includes examples of whimsical characters, as they are usually for children, but also adults and teens.
A monologue means that there is only one person who's doing the talking, while the remaining characters listen. So, in a dramatic monologue, the character addresses 'a silent auditor'.
