Final answer:

Soliloquies in Shakespearean plays involve characters expressing their inner thoughts and emotions alone on stage.


Explanation:

Soliloquies in Shakespearean plays are extended dramatic passages where a character gives a speech alone on stage to express their inner thoughts and feelings.
