It seems she hangs upon the cheek of night Like a rich jewel in an Ethiope's ear; Beauty too rich for use, for earth too dear! Other characters in the play may hear these speeches.
While soliloquies are a type of monologue, they are given while the actor is alone onstage and are not mean to be heard by other characters. Playwrights include a soliloquy when they want the audience to see the internal conflict a character is facing.

In this particular soliloquy, Juliet professes her love for Romeo once again. While waiting for her much-awaited union with Romeo, Juliet invokes the night, asking it to hasten its arrival.
She further states that if Romeo were to be cut up in little stars after his death, he would brighten the sky with his unprecedented beauty. I have a faint cold fear thrills through my veins That almost freezes up the heat of life.
My dismal scene I needs must act alone.
