Show transcript
A soliloquy is a type of monologue that occurs when a character voices their thoughts and feelings aloud. Playwrights include soliloquies to give the audience an insight into characters' feelings. In Shakespeare's plays, high status characters' soliloquies follow iambic pentameter structure. Soliloquies are written in the first person. Other characters are silent during the speaker's soliloquy.
