A soliloquy is a long speech in which characters, on stage alone, reveal their inner thoughts aloud. This allows the audience to gain insight into the character's thoughts and feelings, even if other characters are not present to hear them. It is a dramatic device used to provide exposition, develop character, and reveal the character's motivations and intentions. Soliloquies are often used to create a sense of intimacy between the character and the audience, as the character directly shares their innermost thoughts and emotions.

It allows the character to share information that other characters on stage are not aware of, creating a sense of intimacy and connection with the audience.
