monologue

Violence is immoral because it thrives on hatred rather than love.

It destroys community and makes brotherhood impossible.

It leaves society in monologue rather than dialogue.
—Nobel Lecture, University of Oslo, December 1964

Monologue can mean a lot of different things.

In entertainment, it is a speech performed by a single actor

(sometimes known as a soliloquy, depending on the delivery).

In a conversation, it is when there is a prolonged discourse that is handled by a sole speaker, usually indicating a monopolization of the conversation. In King’s speech, it has more to do with a one-sided conversation without compromise or compassion, where violence keeps us separated instead of bringing us together.

Today, it most commonly references a type of speech given by a character in a story (like the bad guy revealing his plans),

or a performance given by a late-night host at the top of the show.

(“Did you catch John Oliver’s monologue last night? Dude killed it.”)

Dialectic: Logic Through Conversation

Dialectic is a term used in philosophy, and the fact that it is closely connected to the ideas of Socrates and Plato is completely logical—even from an etymological point of view. Plato’s famous dialogues frequently presented Socrates playing a leading role, and dialogue comes from the Greek roots dia- (“through” or “across”) and -logue (“discourse” or “talk”). Dialect and dialectic come from dialecktos (“conversation” or “dialect”) and ultimately back to the Greek word dialegesthai, meaning “to converse.”

Conversation or dialogue was indeed at the heartof the “Socratic method,” through which Socrates would ask probing questions which cumulatively revealed his students’ unsupported assumptions and misconceptions.

The goal, according to the definition in our Unabridged Dictionary,

was to “elicit a clear and consistent expression of something supposed to be implicitly known by all rational beings.”

Other philosophers had specific uses of the term dialectic,

including Aristotelianism, Stoicism, Kantianism, Hegelianism, and Marxism.

Asking a series of questions was considered by Socrates

a method of “giving birth” to the truth,

and a related word, maieutic, defined as “relating to or resembling the Socratic method of eliciting new ideas from another,” comes from the Greek word meaning “of midwifery.”

The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language,

Usage Note:

Although use of the verb dialogue

meaning "to engage in an exchange of views" is widespread, the Usage Panel has little affection for it. In our 2009 survey, 80 percent of the Panel rejected the sentence The department was remiss in not trying to dialogue with representatives of the community before hiring new officers. This represents some erosion of the 98 percent who rejected this example in 1988, but resistance is still very strong. A number of Panelists felt moved to comment on the ugliness or awkwardness of the construction.

Soliloquy vs. Monologue

Soliloquy and monologue cover very similar ground,

but there are some important differences between the two words.

Soliloquy (from the Latin solus “alone” and loqui “to speak”) at its most basic level refers tothe act of talking to oneself, and more specifically denotes the solo utterance of an actor in a drama.

It tends to be used of formal or literary expressions,

such as Hamlet’s soliloquies. Monologue (from Greek monos "alone" and legein "to speak") may also refer to a dramatic scene in which an actor soliloquizes, but it has other meanings as well. To a stand-up comedian, monologue denotes a comic routine.

To a bored listener, it signifies a long speech uttered by someone who has too much to say.

Why:

For example, in The New Republic, a suggestion was made for new host Jimmy Fallon:

Leno has offered his successor one piece of advice:

"Make your monologue longer...." But when Fallon takes the throne on February 17...his first step should be to reboot the format and kill the monologue entirely.

Monologue means "the routine of a stand-up comic," and originally was used refer to a long speech in a play given by one actor.

It came through French from the Greek roots that mean "alone" and "to speak."
