The second paragraph ("Unlike a public contains an early use of character aside.") doesn't make any sense. Is it an editing mistake?Karn (talk)17:53, 9 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Can an aside be between two characters on stage and the audience, but still unheard by one of the other characters? As in, is it called an aside when two characters discuss another character "in front" of the character to the audience, but without the supposed knowledge of that character?—the preceding comment is by205.222.243.61 - 16:12, 5 January 2006:Please sign your posts!

I think that might be called astage whisper, but I'm no dramatician, so it might be an aside, yes.--Atlantima00:43, 11 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

According tohttp://grammartips.homestead.com/relatives.html, "which" is only used to refer to things or animals, not people.Expo377 (talk)03:03, 14 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

the Compact Oxford English dictionary has the following definition:aside

 • adverb 1 to one side; out of the way. 2 in reserve.  • noun 1 an actor’s remark addressed to the audience rather than the other characters. 2 an incidental remark.  — PHRASES aside from apart from. set aside 1 temporarily remove (land) from agricultural production. 2 annul (a legal decision or process).

I've only ever heard it in a theatrical context with the meaning of character talking to the audience without being heard by the other characters.
