A soliloquy is a speech in a play where a character talks to themselves, sharing their inner thoughts out loud, usually alone on stage. It lets the audience know what the character is really thinking.
From Late Latin *soliloquium*, from *solus* “alone” + *loqui* “to speak.” It literally means “speaking alone.”
A soliloquy is like hearing someone’s inner voice turned up on speakers. Shakespeare used it as an early “mind-reading device” long before movies had voice-overs.
