What is a "soliloquy"?
A soliloquy is a speech delivered by a character while they are alone on stage or believe they are alone. This type of speech reveals the character's inner thoughts, feelings, or reflections directly to the audience. It is used in plays to provide insight into a character’s personal struggles, motivations, or intentions, and is a way for the audience to understand the character's internal conflicts and perspective.
Example
In the final act, the lead actress will be acting out a powerful soliloquy that reveals the character's inner turmoil.
Her rendition of Shakespeare's soliloquy was both powerful and emotive.
The actor's rendition of Hamlet's soliloquy was both haunting and profound, offering a unique perspective on the character's inner turmoil.
