dramatic monologue

Literary genre, usually of poetry, poem consisting of a speech by a single character, in which his or her thoughts, character, and situation are revealed to the reader. It developed from the soliloquy, a monologue spoken in a play. It was a particularly popular poetical form in the 19th century. Examples include Robert Browning's ‘My Last Duchess’ (1842) and T S Eliot's ‘Love Song of J Alfred Prufrock’ (1917).
