What does the phrase cast by their grave beseeming ornaments mean in Shakespeare?

In drama what does aside mean?

an "aside" in acting and theatre is when characters are acting out a scene and another character says something in the scene, it is usually about something going on in the scene. asides are meant to not be heard by the other characters talking, it is just to give the audience more information about what is going on in the scene


Is shall you her more or shall you speak at this is it a aside in romeo and Juliet?

The correct quotation is "Shall I hear more, or shall I speak at this?" "Shall I hear more" does not mean the same thing as "shall you hear more" Probably the best way to define an aside is a line said by a character which is unheard by anyone else on stage, but is heard by the audience. By this definition, the remark is an aside: Romeo says it but Juliet doesn't hear it. The Wikipedia definition of aside as a remark addressed to the audience is unhelpful, as it is unclear whether the remark is to be addressed to the audience or whether he is addressing himself. It depends on how the actor is directed.


What is the actor's remark to the audience?

An ASIDE.


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.
