Entertainment / Literature / Dramatic Monologue: A poem in which a poetic speaker addresses either the reader or an internal listener at length. It is similar to the soliloquy in theater, in that both a dramatic monologue and a soliloquy often involve the revelation of the innermost thoughts and feelings of the speaker. Two famous examples are Browning's 'My Last Duchess' and 'Soliloquy of the Spanish Cloister.' Cf. Interior monologue and monologue.
