What is a good twist to crime dramatic monologue?

Question

anonymous · Answer

The question is not very clear . . . a twist in terms of someone saying something unexpected? Or a plot twist?

In either case, I don't think someone can come up with "a twist" without having a set of events against which to create that twist. Unless you want someone to come up with the whole story, twist and all.

what would a serial killer do after the women lets him inside her house? That kind of twist.

Well, a twist in that plot might be (because we now expect her to die) that she herself is a more cunning killer than he, and she gets him all trussed up and is ready to do him in.

I don't know that that's the best twist in this case . . . I'm not a fiction writer.

The best twists are when something happens that a character doesn't expect, but that that character inadvertently brought on himself. Like Oedipus seeking for the killer of the king, who turns out to be himself. And the fact that in his attempt to escape the horrible prophecy about himself (to kill his father and marry his mother), he brings it to fruition.
