[edit] Suggested merger

I suggest merging the article Soliloquy. The article soliloquy is rather wordy, and could make more sense slightly pruned and included in 'Monologue'. A large part of the article 'Soliloquy' is an unannotated extract from Shakespeare, which could be more appropriately cited than quoted in full.--Smerus 17:54, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

now merged--Smerus 16:50, 21 February 2006 (UTC)

Can anyone verify that the term "Monologuing" was not used before "The Incredibles" ? That seems rediculous to me. - Win7ermute jk;

There's a scene in "Last Action Hero" in which the "real-life" Danny explains to the villain that he let the good guys get the upper hand while he was rambling on, only to be caught in the same way. I don't remember if the term "monologuing" was actually used, though.--Fuzza409 11:00, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

I suggest the Darth Vader example on "Monologuing" be removed. He was fighting not making a speech, one line is not a monologue, as the article should show.

actually i read somewhere that monologue is a speech when only one person on the stage speaks and the others either cant hear him or dont pay attention to it, while a soliloquy is a dialogue to the self, that is talking to themselves to reveal the inner thoughts to the audience or simply to speak aloud the inner thinking. I cannot source it but if anyone can please verify it, i will be grateful. 59.94.144.205 07:18, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] monolouges

are so concfusing —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.189.182.211 (talk) 23:17, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

The Metal Gear Solid franchise should be added in here. There are several monologues in all of the games and in one game, a monologue lasts for 35 minutes. That is one of the defining characteristics of MGS, long cutscenes and monologuing. It is the perfect video game example of a monologue. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.34.50.155 (talk) 05:16, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
