Explanation:

An aside is a dramatic device employed in the theater where a character speaks directly to the audience and where the audience is supposed to understand that the other characters on stage cannot hear the character speaking to the audience. Unlike a soliloquy, an aside is briefer and more direct, and, whatever its contents, they usually signify a true, honest and intimate thought of the character addressing the audience.
