MACBETH TERMS • Soliloquy: A soliloquy is a literary device, most often found in dramas, in which a character speaks to him or herself, relating his or her innermost thoughts and feelings as if thinking aloud. In some cases, an actor might direct a soliloquy directly to the audience, such that rather than the audience "overhearing" the character's spoken thoughts, the character is actively sharing his or her thoughts with the audience. Usually, no other characters are present when one character is giving a soliloquy. If other characters are present, the play is typically—though not always—staged to indicate that these characters cannot hear the soliloquy being spoken. • https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4LDdyafsR7g ASIDE • a remark or passage in a play that is intended to be heard by the audience but unheard by the other characters in the play. • https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yBg09xfjcrk • 12:00 COMIC RELIEF • comic relief. n.
