My favorite line from the infamous Hamlet soliloquy was "For who would bare the whips and scorns of time."
The antonym for soliloquy is dialogue. A soliloquy is when a character speaks their thoughts aloud to themselves, while a dialogue involves a conversation between two or more people.
Yes, "soliloquy" is a noun. It refers to a speech in a play where a character speaks their thoughts aloud, often revealing their inner feelings or motivations to the audience.
A soliloquy is used to dramatize a character's internal thoughts. This could function to give the audience or reader insight into the character's emotions and concepts of their current situation. A soliloquy can function to create dramatic irony (where the audience knows information that certain characters in the play do not). A soliloquy could pose a question a character has or represent some kind of internal struggle. A good example of this is the "To be, or not to be" soliloquy from Shakespeare's Hamlet (this is also one of the most famous soliloquy's).
During his soliloquy, the character revealed his innermost thoughts and emotions to the audience, unaware that anyone else was listening.
