What does means in Shakespeare plays?
The term "asides" in Shakespeare plays refers to lines or short monologues spoken by a character to the audience or themselves without being heard by the other characters on stage. Asides provide insight into the character's thoughts, feelings, or plans that they do not wish to share with the other characters in the scene. These asides allow the audience to gain a deeper understanding of the character's motivations and intentions, sometimes offering a humorous or ironic commentary on the events unfolding on stage.
