An "aside," in a play, is usually where a character in the play stops talking to the other characters, and speaks directly to the audience.

What does aside mean in drama terms?

In drama the term aside refers to lines that are delivered to the audience that other characters on stage are not aware of. For example, in the play Macbeth the title character delivers several asides concerning his doubts about killing the King Duncan. The other characters on stage do not hear these asides, but the audience does and we learn things about Macbeth through them.


Did Shakespeare invent plays?

If you mean "Did Shakespeare invent the concept of plays?" the answer is no, he sure did not. People were writing plays in Greece 1800 years and more before Shakespeare was born. They had plays in Rome too, but the Romans weren't very good at drama, and ultimately plays had to be reinvented. However, English drama was certainly reinvented by the time Shakespeare was born, although it was improving all the time. If you mean "Did Shakespeare write plays?" the answer is of course yes. If he hadn't written plays you would never have heard of him.
