Anaside is a short line delivered to the audience during a scene. By convention, the other characters onstage cannot hear or react to this statement as the character is revealing his personal thoughts to the audience. The character makes a short comment about the action of the scene yet remaining removed from the action, to help clarify the action or include the audience.
It is similar to a soliloquy in its intention, yet can be distinguished by its length and positioning into the script within, or over the top of other dialogue. It is usually used to invite readers to become co-conspirators and participate in a jest, plot, ploy, etc. and is usually used to create humour and dramatic irony.
It was commonly employed in Shakespearean and Classical drama, and is widely viewed as a convention of pantomime or melodrama.
A short or brief dialogue that is intended for the audience and is not heard by other characters.
In drama, the stage direction "aside" means lines are delivered to the audience, breaking the "fourth wall". it also means that the character is speaking ONLY to the audiencehope this helps :)
In drama the term aside refers to lines that are delivered to the audience that other characters on stage are not aware of. For example, in the play Macbeth the title character delivers several asides concerning his doubts about killing the King Duncan. The other characters on stage do not hear these asides, but the audience does and we learn things about Macbeth through them.
an "aside" in acting and theatre is when characters are acting out a scene and another character says something in the scene, it is usually about something going on in the scene. asides are meant to not be heard by the other characters talking, it is just to give the audience more information about what is going on in the scene
This is usually referred to in the script as an aside. Asides take place in particular styles of drama, and are not something you'd get in naturalism for example where an aside would be 'breaking the imaginary fourth wall' and reminding the audience they are watching a play.
An aside is when you hear the characters innermost thoughts and feelings, the other characters don't hear it.
