Soliloquy Knowpia

A soliloquy (/səˈlɪl.ə.kwi, soʊˈlɪl.oʊ-/, from Latin solo "to oneself" + loquor "I talk",^[1] plural soliloquies) is a monologue addressed to oneself, thoughts spoken out loud without addressing another.^[2]^[3]

Soliloquies are used as a device in drama to let a character make their thoughts known to the audience, address it directly or take it into their confidence,^[4] wholly or in part.^[5] English Renaissance drama used soliloquies to great effect,^[4] such as in the soliloquy "To be, or not to be", the centerpiece of Shakespeare's Hamlet.^[6]^[7]
