MONOLOGUES It is a longer speech
by a character in a drama, play.
The character somewhat distances himself from others and starts talking.

SOLILOQUIES Like a monologue. Character is by
himself/herself and speaks at length.
During this time, the character will reveal what he or she is thinking and feeling to the audience, reader. This is the main different between a soliloquy and monologue.

FOIL literary device where the
author creates a character whose purpose is to create a contrast or opposite to another character by drawing attention to the different characteristics the characters possess.
It’s when characters are at opposite ends of the spectrum, just so the author can highlight character traits in one or the other.
Voldemort vs Dumbledore

TRICKSTER Character who’s main
purpose is to be disruptive to the main character because they want to create drama/conflict.
However, to the trickster they do it because they want to be entertained at the other characters’ expense.
They do it for the lulz.

TRAGIC HERO Character in the
play/story who is the hero – but he makes bad decisions and his ending is sad and untimely. Tragic.
