A soliloquy is an utterance or discourse by a person who is talking to himself or herself or is disregardful of or oblivious to any hearers present (often used as a device in drama to disclose a character's innermost thoughts). If there are others on stage, it is a protracted aside.
If you do not allow breaking the fourth wall, a soliloquy must be taken as a speech given as though the character is thinking aloud, but if the character can acknowledge the audience, he may be explaining his motives and actions to the audience. This is what is apparently going on in Shakespeare's Richard III and Othello. Dragging fourth wall conventions into theatrical forms where they are not conventions turn such interactions with the audience into "thinking out loud".
A speech in which the speaker is trying to give the feeling that he or she is talking to them self and not to another person.

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.
