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.
However, by the time of Elizabethan drama, the aside is the province of a single actor. Asides are like another dramatic device, the soliloquy, but there are some key differences. For one thing, asides are brief, passing remarks, sometimes made by minor characters. Soliloquys are long speeches.
