A monologue performed by a character while other characters are on stage; the information in an aside isn't heard by the other characters on stage, even though they may be standing very close; it' intended to convey the character's private thoughts to the audience. Other characters on stage at that may freeze, to show that the words being said are not being overheard; other times, the other characters will go about their business but ignore the character giving the aside.
