As I am familiar with the term, a collective monologue is not related to a monologue one might encounter in theater or acting, but relates to childhood development.

A 'collective monologue' does borrow the idea of one person talking and not paying attention to others. The idea is that children at a certain age get together in the same area to play and talk, but don't really pay much attention to each other. Instead, they all give monologues (i.e. talk aloud to themselves) at more or less the same time. From a casual listen it might sound as though they were having a conversation, but they are all talking about their own thing and what each child is talking about does not relate to what the other kids are talking about. At some later age the children learn how to share in conversations and stop the collective monologuing.

Thus, a bunch of kids - the collective - are talking at the same time about their own things - the monologue.

I work in theater somewhat, and have never heard the term used there. If it is, it's new to me.

How are the themes of the monologue and the myth different?

The themes of a monologue typically focus on personal introspection, emotional expression, or individual experiences, conveying the speaker’s inner thoughts and feelings. In contrast, myths often explore universal truths, cultural values, and collective human experiences, serving as allegorical narratives that explain natural phenomena or moral lessons. While a monologue may delve into specific, subjective themes, myths tend to address broader societal themes that resonate across time and cultures. Thus, the distinction lies in the personal versus the collective nature of their themes.
