How does a soliloquy function as a literary device?
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).

IS THE PROLOGUE A SOLILOQUY OR AN aside romeo and Juliet?
It is not an aside, since there is nobody else on stage, behind whose back the words might be said. Nor is it properly speaking a soliloquy, since it is not delivered within the context of the play. The Prologue is not a character in the play who is delivering his perspective on what is going on, but an external observer giving an objective address to the audience. Compare the prologue of Romeo and Juliet with the similar Prologue in Henry V and contrast it with the soliloquy ( NOT a prologue) which starts Richard III. That soliloquy is given by Richard, one of the characters in the play, and it is given in character.
