Soliloquy

A soliloquy (from Latin solo "to oneself" + loquor "I talk") is a device often used in drama when a character speaks to himself or herself, relating thoughts and feelings, thereby also sharing them with the audience, giving off the illusion of being a series of unspoken reflections. If other characters are present, they keep silent and/or are disregarded by the speaker.

The term soliloquy is distinct from a monologue or an aside: a monologue is a speech where one character addresses other characters; an aside is a (usually short) comment by one character towards the audience, though during the play it may seem like the character is addressing him or herself.

Soliloquies were frequently used in dramas but went out of fashion when drama shifted towards realism in the late 18th century.

Soliloquies in Shakespeare

Shakespeare’s soliloquies contain some of his most original and powerful writing. Possibly prompted by the essays of Montaigne, he explores in his greatest tragedies the way someone wrestles with their private thoughts under pressure, often failing to perceive the flaws in their own thinking, as in the great galloping I-vii soliloquy (‘if ‘twere done when ‘tis done…’) in which Macbeth unconsciously reveals through his imagery his fear of damnation but fails to realise what really holds him back from murdering his king: simply the fact that it is wrong.

Omni (real name Cameron Begay) is a fictional superhero published by DC Comics. He first appears in Relative Heroes #1 (March 2000), by Devin K. Grayson and Yvel Guichet.

Fictional character biography

Cameron Begay was a young super-powered agent of the D.E.O., going under the name of Cypher and wielding the ability to mimic other meta-human super-powers. Eventually, he was adopted by the Weinberg family. When the Weinberg parents died in a car crash, Cameron and his adopted siblings (all super-powered) took on super-hero identities and embarked on a quest to find Superman. Cameron became Omni. Eventually, it was revealed that Omni was a member of the shapeshifting alien race known as the "Es". Upon learning the truth, Omni refused to leave Earth with the Es and currently hangs out with the rest of the Weinbergs.

The Relative Heroes were last seen assisting Young Justice and many other young superheroes against the villain army of Agua Sin Gaaz in Zandia. The purpose of this attack was to strike back for the murder of the parents of Empress, a member of Young Justice. The entire invading force soon fought and defeated the size-changing queen of Zandia.
