Question

Rosa is reading the script of a play. She notices a minor character briefly expressing private thoughts to the audience in a way that makes it seem the other characters on stage cannot hear.
What is this kind of dialogue called?


a quotation
a monologue
an aside
a soliloquy

Answer 1

I believe it would be a soliloquy. A soliloquy is defined as a person speaking to themselves without any regard for someone that may hear it (or oblivious to them).

Answer 2

A soliloquy

This is the act of speaking one's thoughts aloud regardless of any listeners; it is especially done by characters in a play.
