What is the difference between a monologue and a soliloquy.

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.

The difference between a monologue and a soliloquy is that in a soliloquy, the speaker is not addressing anyone. While a monologue may be addressed to someone. Thank you for posting your question. I hope this answer helped you. Let me know if you need more help.
