#monolouge

Me: Not everyone’s life is filled with daisies and butterflies.

You: Well, then, what's your life really like? Me: You really want to know? You:'Blankly stare from across the table' Me: I space out half the day and the other half I spend sleeping. Because I find it so fucking exhausting having to deal with being called names or being so called “annoying” day after day by the people who are supposed to love you unconditionally. And I’m not someone who likes to burden others, so I keep it all inside. I know it shows through my eyes. And the only thing I have to grasp on to day after day, is the hope that maybe, someday, I'll do something that matters...and that just might matter to someone else. That's what my life is like. So, yeah, I'm fucking sad. -E.S.

the more I think about it, the more it feels significant.

Then Wolfwood slapping this on next to it:

A monologue might be delivered to an audience within a play or story or it might be delivered directly to the audience sitting in the theater and watching the play or reading the book, etc.

But a soliloquy is a speech that one gives to oneself.

The difference between soliloquies and monologues is that other characters don’t hear soliloquies. Technically, a soliloquy is a type of monologue.

➪SOLILOQUY: Basically its a long speech a character makes to him or herself. A soliloquy is a long speech spoken by a single character not intended to be heard by any other character (plays in particular). In the rare cases where someone else is on stage during a soliloquy, the audience should suspend disbelief. Effectively, time stops in the action of the play, because the soliloquy articulates thoughts that might flash through a person’s head in the span of a few seconds. This can be adopted for writing too. Eg:

From Romeo and Juliet-Juliet speaks her thoughts aloud when she learns that Romeo is the son of her family's enemy: O Romeo, Romeo!

➪MONOLOGUE: A monologue is a speech spoken by a single character but addressed to the other characters on stage (or on screen). A monologue involves one character speaking to another.

When a character is talking to themselves in an internal monologue (sometimes called “interior monologue”) rather than talking to another character, it’s often further defined as a “soliloquy.”

Yuu: Now, I can't give any of ya'll shit 'cause I be broke.

Yuu: For that I'm sorry. But I sure as HELL expect presents.

Yuu: Now I'm gonna go and hang with Tsunataro while you all freak out about how you didn't get me anything but, at like, the end of the day you somehow get me something and I'm gonna have to act like it's the best present in the world while knowing some of ya'll didn't do nothin while the rich ones get me something that's expensive, or just plain money in Leona's case. Don't worry about it though Ruggie, we broke besties.

Yuu: Shit. I went on a whole monolouge.
