Antonyms?

I need more antonyms for the word "Soliloquy" as in a dramatic monologue that represents a series of unspoken reflections.The only antonym I could find was "Dialogue".This is for my English class.Can anyone help me find some more antonyms?BTW I pick best answers!=D



Thanks in advance!=) Antonyms?
Dialog, colloquy, composition, conversation, discussion, passage, script, speech.

:)
A soliloquy and a monologue are not the same thing. In a monologue, a person is speaking for a while to others, who listen without responding.

In a soliloquy the speaker is always talking to himself or herself. You have asked for antonyms for soliloquy; I cannot think of any single word that means the opposite of that word.

But the opposite, strictly speaking, would be

1) NOT speaking to oneself

or

2) Speaking to others, which could be defined as conversation, discourse, dialog, speech, prologue, epilogue, solo, aside.......

Antonyms?
Since a soliloquy is a monologue, the best antonym is dialogue.



Is your teaching asking for more choices? Because dialogue is perfect.



I suppose you could consider:



conversation - discourse - interchange -



By the way, do you have Microsoft Word? It's a wonderful word processing program, and if you right-click on a word (such as dialogue), it will bring up synonyms. Pretty cool, and a great time-saver. Antonyms?
a boring conversation about a single obvious fact... that would be the most opposite to a soliloquy... a.k.a. "a dialogue" like you said, so just look up synonyms for dialogue.



I'm having a hard time imagining what could be the point of your assignment. Curious.
Colloquy - conversation, dialog
