a soliloquy is when a character speaks aloud to himself, as if he is thinking out loud. It helps the character realize certain things that other wise if he had not verbalized aloud would not have realized. It's like having a conversation with yourself but outloud.

In a play, when a character performs a soliloquy is for the purpose that the audience knows what the character is thinking, his internal strugles etc.

If you want a good example of this, read the soliloquy in Hamlet "to be or not to be....." great example of internal strugle and realization
