The idea
The same compression appears in both. A sonnet's fourteen lines and a soliloquy's thirty do similar work: state a position, complicate it, resolve or fail to. Reading one prepares the other, which is why this course worked the sonnets before the plays.
In practice
The same compression in both forms.
Where people slip
Sonnets prepare the speeches.
