Explanation:

Prose refers to the speech that we use to communicate with each other everyday. It has no rhyme or syllable count. A soliloquy is a long speech that a character in a play gives when alone. This is most often associated with Shakespearean plays. An aside occurs when a character says words that not everyone in the play is meant to hear, but that are important for the audience to know. Finally, a monologue is a lengthy speech by one character, in which he talks in front of others.
