From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia · Read full article · Text CC BY-SA 4.0

An aside is a dramatic device in which a character speaks to the audience. By convention, the audience is to realize that the character's speech is unheard by the other characters on stage. It may be addressed to the audience expressly or represent an unspoken thought. An aside is usually a brief comment rather than a speech, such as a monologue or soliloquy.
