Abstract
Soliloquy especially, in drama plays a very vital role to identify and to analyze the innermost feelings of an individual character, his real plight, agony and his or her real personality. In other words, it is a kind of act of speaking which denotes self-thoughts and feeling in absence of others. This paper is to analyze some selected soliloquies in Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet (written about 1594–96 and first published in an unauthorized quarto in 1597. An authorized quarto appeared in 1599). Selected Soliloquies are as following: O, she doth teach the torches to burn bright (spoken by Romeo, Act 1 scene 1), What light through yonder window breaks?
