The words spoken by an actor in a play, one of the essential elements of theatre. There are various forms, such as dialogue, a conversation between two or more characters; monologue, a one-person address to the audience expressing one's own state of mind or feelings; and aside, an aside, a speech in front of the other characters, in which one expresses one's thoughts or other thoughts under the stage promise that the other actors cannot hear. The long monologue used in Hamlet is called a soliloquy. Asides are also a type of monologue, but they are short and used briefly, especially in comedies.

劇のなかで俳優によって語られる言葉で,演劇の本質的要素の一つ。2人以上の登場人物の間でかわされる対話 dialogue (→ダイアローグ ) ,自己の心境や感情を観客に向ってひとりで語りかける独白 monologue (→モノローグ ) ,他の登場人物の面前でしゃべりながら相手役に聞えないという舞台上の約束のもとで自分の考えその他を述べる傍白 aside (アサイド) などの形式がある。『ハムレット』のなかで用いられる長い独白は,ソリロキー soliloquyと呼ばれる。傍白も独白の一種であるが,短く,特に喜劇において短切的に使用される。
