The soliloquy is an important dramatic device which allows a character in a play to ‘step-out’ of the main action and engage directly with the audience‚ as if in a one to one confession about their thoughts and feelings‚ motives and decisions. As seen in ‘Romeo and Juliet’ and ‘Othello’ the convention is a forceful and flexible tool for the dramalist since it places the audience in an omniscient position creating dramatic tension and irony.

The “To be or not to be-” soliloquy at the beginning Act 3 Scene I‚ is without a doubt one of William Shakespeare’s most famous soliloquies and it is used all throughout pop culture.
