Twelfth Night Soliloquy

Orsino's soliloquy: " If music be the food of love, play on...."
However, Viola has a beautiful one in Act II, Scene II...viola:
"Fortune forbid my outisde have not charm'd her!........it is too hard a knot for me to untie!" I LOVE that one. It sums up viola's angst beautifully, and announces the coming progression of events in the rest of the play.
Also sebastian act iv scene 3: "This is the air: that is the glorious sun...............there's something in't that is deceiveable. But here the lady comes. "
I hope this gives you some inspiration.

Her "objective" is to figure out why Olivia (the object of the Duke's affections) is behaving so strangely. Her obstacle is that she doesn't exactly know how to view things from a man's perspective. Her tactic is simply talking to herself to try to understand the situation. For example, she asks herself questions. Hope this helps!
