soliloquy — a personal expression

September 2, 2014

___ A soliloquy is a “thinking out loud,” per se, when one is alone or is oblivious of others present.

Pronounced [suh-LIL-uh-quee]. Thoughts expressed in a “soliloquy” are profound, oft in exploring one’s situation.

American Heritage dictionary defines “soliloquy”:
1. a. A dramatic or literary form of discourse in which a character talks to himself or herself or reveals his or her thoughts when alone or unaware of the presence of other characters.
b. A specific speech or piece of writing in this form.
2. The act of speaking to oneself.

From the Late Latin word sōliloquium, meaning “a talking to oneself,” it combines the Latin words solus meaning “alone” and loqui meaning “speak.”

A “soliloquy” is different from a monologue.

Usage notes via World English Dictionary
— Soliloquy is sometimes wrongly used where monologue is meant. Both words refer to a long speech by one person, but a monologue can be addressed to other people, whereas in a soliloquy the speaker is always talking to himself or herself

Shakespeare’s Hamlet begins one of the most famous soliloquies, as he contemplates suicide with “To be or not to be ….”

Billy Bigelow in the Rodgers and Hammerstein musical Carousel sings “Soliloquy” as an expectant father contemplating his child.

A writer might pen a soliloquy in her personal journal.

If you felt inspired to express profound thoughts via a soliloquy,
would you speak it, sing it, or write it?
