soliloquy--a speech in which a character speaks his/her thoughts aloud. Usually the character is on the stage alone, but others may be there (ignored temporarily). The purpose is to reveal his/her inner thoughts, feelings, emotions, plans, etc..to the audience NOT the other characters.
aside- a remark spoken in an undertone by a character either to the audience or another character--traditional convention is only heard by the audience. They can be used to express characters' feelings, opinions, and reactions so they function as a method of characterization.---CAN CAUSE DRAMATIC IRONY (we know things the other characters do not!)
