Introduction to Soliloquy and Aside in Mythology
In many ancient myths, gods and heroes often reveal their true feelings either when they believe no one is watching or when they speak aloud to themselves. These moments help the audience understand the characters' inner thoughts and motivations. A soliloquy is a long speech made by a character alone on stage, revealing their innermost feelings. An aside is a brief remark made by a character directly to the audience or another character, which others on stage do not hear. Both techniques are used to give insight into a character's mind, but they differ in length and context.
