Soliloquy
 
A soliloquy (pronounced so-LILL-oh-kwee) is
a kind of 
monologue
, or an extended speech by
one character. In a soliloquy, though, the speech
is not given to another character, and there is no
one around to hear it. Instead of another
character, the soliloquy is delivered to a
surrogate, to the audience, or to no one in
particular.

Types of
Soliloquy
 
To oneself
This is probably the most common form of soliloquy –
the 
character 
is simply “thinking out loud” or talking to an
empty room. This is a way of taking their “inner monologue”
and externalizing it.
b. To a surrogate
In some soliloquies, the speaker is talking to an object rather
than a character. For example, they may be speaking to a
stuffed animal, an inanimate object, or a pet. (Of course, if the
pet can talk and is a character, as is often the case in cartoons,
then this would be a 
monologue 
rather than a soliloquy.) In
some cases, a 
character 
will speak to a corpse or part of a
corpse – for example, the head of a slain enemy. This is still
considered a soliloquy, since the corpse is no longer a living
character capable of hearing the speech.

C.
 To the audience
Every once in a while, a character will turn around and
speak directly to the audience. This may be part of
framing narrative
, (e.g. “sit and listen while I tell you a
tale…”), or it might be delivered at any point in the plot.
This kind of soliloquy is a lot like an 
aside
, but longer.

Dramatic
Monologue
 
A monologue 
is a lengthy speech by a single
person. In a play, when a character utters a
monologue that expresses his or her private
thoughts, it is called a 
soliloquy. 
Dramatic
monologue, 
however, does not designate a
component in a play, but a type of 
lyrìc poem.

T
he dramatic
monologue has the
following features
 -
 
(1) A single person, who is patently 
not 
the poet, utters
the speech that makes up the whole of the poem, in a
specific situation at a critical moment.
 (2) This person addresses and interacts with one or more
other people; but we know of the auditor’s presence, and
what they say and do, only from clues in the discourse of
the single speaker.
(3) The main principle controlling the poet's formulation
of what the lyric speaker says is to reveal to the reader, in
a way that enhances its interest, the speaker's
temperament and character.
