Usage notes
Primarily used of theater, particularly the works of (William Shakespeare), as a term of art, particularly for finely-crafted speeches. An archetype is the “(To be or not to be)” soliloquy in (Hamlet). In informal speech or discussions of popular culture, the term monologue is used instead, generally in a pejorative sense, suggesting that the speaker is a self-centered boor who won’t shut up.Synonyms
