    Soliloquy, Aside, and Monologue

    Shakespeare’s characters often


    deliver these types of dramatic
    speeches.
    What is a Soliloquy?
    • A soliloquy is a lengthy
    speech in which a
    character – usually
    alone on stage –
    expresses his or her
    thoughts to the
    audience.
    • Other characters
    CANNOT hear this.
    Julius Caesar: “It must be by his
    death:”

    Julius Caesar - Act 2, Scene 1 Brutus Soliloquy


    The moment when Brutus decides to kill Caesar and
    begins to justify this action.
    “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off”

    What is a Monologue?
    • A monologue, like a soliloquy, is a lengthy
    speech. However, a monologue is addressed
    to other characters on stage, not the
    audience.
    Julius Caesar: “Friends, Romans,
    Countrymen, lend me your ears;”

    Damian Lewis performs Antony’s lines from Act III, Scene 2 of Julius Caesar.
    Antony has been granted permission to speak at Caesar’s funeral so long as he
    does not implicate the conspirators in his death, but he skilfully turns the crowd
    against them.
    Dori to Nemo:
    What is an Aside?
    • An aside is a brief remark by a character
    revealing his thoughts or feelings to the
    audience, unheard by the other characters on
    the stage.

    CASSIUS
    Brutus, a word with you.
    (aside to BRUTUS) 
    You know not what you do. Do not consent
    That Antony speak in his funeral. Know you
    how much the people may be moved By that
    which he will utter?

    Make Shakesphere proud.

    Be sure you can tell the difference between a Soliloquy, an Aside,


    and a Monologue.
    What is a Pun?
    • A play on words for comedic or sardonic effect. Some
    puns involve a single word or phrase that has two
    different meanings. Others involve two different
    words or phrases with the same sound.
    Julius Caesar: pun intended!

    The puns on "cobbler" in Julius Caesar occur in act 1, scene 1 and indicate the
    inability of Marullus and Flavius to understand the commoners. The second
    commoner jokes that he could "cobble" Marullus, meaning that he could fix
    him. This follows his comment that he is a "mender of bad soles," implying that
    he is offering to mend the bad souls of Marullus and Flavius.
    Oxymoron
    • a combination of words that have opposite or
    very different meanings but that still make
    sense

    Ju
    Ca lius
    es
    “without laws, we can have no freedom."
    "Cowards die many times before their deaths" (II.ii.32). ar
