That's what you call a soliloquy â a character's speech voicing his or her own thoughts as if to himself. Shakespeare's plays are full of soliloquies. The noun, soliloquy, comes from the Latin roots, solus alone plus loqui speak meaning a talking to oneself.. A soliloquy is a speech a character gives of his thoughts and reflections. Some of the most famous lines in drama are taken from soliloquies.
Here is an example of a soliloquy. In this soliloquy example, Prince Hamlet, is conveying his secret thoughts and intentions. You can notice though that it is only in between the listener and Hamlet. Thus, the secrecy of his intentions will remain intact. This is Hamlet's fourth soliloquy (To Be, or Not to Be).
