Question

Read the passage and tell which dramatic device the passage describes.

At the climax of the play, just before the mystery is solved, the crook turns to the audience and says, “Is this guy really going to let me get away with it?”

soliloquy
dramatic irony
dramatic convention
character foil
aside

Answer 1

That's an aside! The crook is addressing the audience directly but is not going on a tangent of any sort, so it is an aside.

Answer 2

SOS:

The answer is aside!!

*Asides are generally short remarks or comments made to the audience but not overheard by any other actor on the stage.

Hope this helps!!
