How does a soliloquy differ from an aside? A soliloquy is a conversation between two or more characters, while an aside is just a single character expressing his or her thoughts about the actions of other characters. A soliloquy is a stage direction during which all the characters exit the stage, while during an aside, they’re instructed to move to different sides of the stage. During a soliloquy, only the character making the speech is present onstage, while during an aside, others characters may be present onstage. A soliloquy is the opening scene of a play, while an aside is the closing scene of the play.

OpenStudy (johnnewman):

The Difference between a soliloquy and an aside… Soliloquy – a (usually long) dramatic speech intended to give the audience the illusion of the actor's innermost thoughts and unknown reflections. For the soliloquy, the character is alone on the stage, revealing his/her inner thoughts by speaking aloud.
