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.
Reviewing these descriptions and differences, one could understand that both monologues and soliloquies share a similarity in terms of the speaker being an individual giving a lengthy speech but differ in terms of the listener; a monologue could be aimed at some audience while a soliloquy is not intended to be heard by other characters of the drama.
