A soliloquy is a speech given by a character when there is nobody on stage to hear him. It is sometimes played as the character musing aloud, and sometimes as the character breaking the fourth wall and speaking directly to the audience.

Famous soliloquys in Shakespeare include:

Hamlet's five famous soliloquys: "O that this too too solid flesh would melt" in 1, 2; "O what a rogue and peasant slave am I" in 2,2; "To be or not to be" in 3,1; "Now is the very witching hour of night" in 3,2; "How all occasions do inform against me" in 4,4.

Macbeth's "Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow creeps in this petty pace from day to day."

Richard III's opening speech: "Now is the winter of our discontent made glorious summer by this sun of York."

Juliet's soliloquy in 3,2 "Gallop apace, you fiery-footed steeds"

Edmund in King Lear: "Now God, stand up for bastards!"

Viola's "Ring Speech" in Twelfth Night 2,2 "I left no ring with her. What means this lady?"
