A Monologue is when one character speaks at length to another character. Think of it this way: a monologue is, literally, half of a dialogue (mono- = one, dia- = two.) So one character speaking to another without getting a response is a monologue.

Example:

When Henry V delivers his speech to the English camp in the Saint Crispin's Day speech ("we few, we happy few, we band of brothers") it is a monologue since he is speaking to other characters.

A soliloquy is a character speaking his thoughts out lout for the audience to hear. The lines can be directed either to the audience, or, more often, the character is just speaking to himself.

Example:

When Hamlet contemplates suicide, he talks to himself about the pros and cons ("To be, or not to be, that is the question.") This is a soliloquy because he is speaking his thoughts aloud for the benefit of the audience, and not to another character.
