Make him talk to himself or something like his good side going against his bad side

Look at dialogue from Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde and the Phantom of the Opera for examples.

I think both of yourself can figure it out.

Think Lord of the Rings and Golum. That's a great example to pull ideas from.

please be more specific... do you want character ideas? a dialogue in which these characters play it out? do you need ideas on presentation?

consider having the two personalities discuss the coming election. there is much to work with in both good and evil not to mention an opportunity for serious reflection and humor.

make your character have a devil on one shoulder and an angle on the other side

The Lord of the Rings The Two Towers has two scenes with Gollum/Smeagol talking to himself ina struggle against his good and bad side. Also The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King has a scene towards the beginning that shows this. I woudl recommend acting that scene out yourself, recognizing the techniques used and incorporate that into yours.

Does it have to be a monlouge? Make it an ensemble. How about , you have one guy sitting down and not saying anyting. As two people argue around him in two contrasting views, or maybe about a big descision he should make. With good dialouge, you could make it extremely interesting, and a total suprise, when the audience finds out that the two people were from the non talking guys imagination.
