Answer:Both soliloquys and monologues are speeches made by a single actor and are used by a playwriter to explain a character’s inner thoughts. However, a soliloquy reveals the thoughts a character wouldn’t say out loud to other characters in the play, while a monologue represents what a character would say to others. The thoughts expressed may not be inner thoughts and may just be what the speaker wishes to convey to the other characters.

Monologue means a long and typically tedious speech by one person during a conversation, while soliloquy means the act of speaking one's thoughts aloud when by oneself or regardless of any hearers. A soliloquy is a character making a speech, usually when alone. ... That means the character can hear himself speak.
