A Dramatic Device Used in I. L. Caragiale’s Plays: the Aside

Author(s): Iolanda Sterpu

Keywords: monological aside; dialogical aside; dramatic dialogue

Summary/Abstract: This study analyzes how the dramatic device called “aside” relates to dialogue in Caragiale’s plays. The two types of dramatic asides used by Caragiale, i.e., the monological (or the “authentic”) aside and the dialogical (or the partial) aside, engage in various kinds of relations with the dialogue. These relations are put in evidence by the internal structure of the aside, but also by the way it inserts itself into the dialogue and by the connections it establishes with this other form of dramatic communication.
