Question

What is the difference between a monologue and soliloquy

Answer 1

The difference between a monologue and a soliloquy is that a monologue is when a character is talking to another character and they know that they are speaking to another character. Whereas a soliloquy is when a character is speaking their thoughts and feelings to themselves whenever are alone or when they think they are alone.

Answer 2

A monologue is a long speech by one actor in a play or movie, or as part of a theatrical or broadcast program. A soliloquy is an act of speaking one's thoughts aloud when by oneself or regardless of any hearers, especially by a character in a play.

In a soliloquy, the speaker isn't addressing anyone. A monologue may be addressed to other characters or the audience. It also is that a soliloquy is more or less something that is thought.
