This study examines the pragma-stylistic analysis of soliloquies in Shakespeare's play. It aims to show how pragmatic theories are subordinated stylistically in literary discourse in general and in theatrical discourse in particular. Leech's stylistic theories and Searle's speech actsare used to the chosen data. Accordingly, the study aims at: "(1) Stipulating the main categories of speech acts applied by the chief character laterally with the stylistic influences attained through their use of soliloquies in Shakespeare's plays. (2) Displaying how pragmatic strategies yield stylistic effects via using stylistic devices on the two levels of interaction in Shakespeare's plays. For the current study to attain its goals, it is hypothesized that: (1) There are reliable patterns of speech acts that appear to offer contextual aspects through using stylistic devices about the characters' psychological states and the elements of their personalities and alignments, (2) Searle‘s Speech Acts and Leech's Stylistic devices are demoralized by Shakespeare and the characters in the plays to show notions and concepts explicitly and implicitly. Hence, as to attain the aims of the study and test its hypotheses, the subsequent procedures are assumed: (1) Introducing a theoretical literature review about the interface between pragmatics and stylistics in addition to their impacts on literary discourse in general and dramatic discourse in specific with some associated concepts that are noteworthy to the aims of the study. (2) Investigating (four) extracts of soliloquies consistent with an eclectic model established for this study. The results of the analysis confirm the overhead stated hypotheses."
