An aside is, by convention, a true statement of a character's thought; a character may be mistaken in an aside, but may not be dishonest.

Aside What Is an Aside? An aside is a device that playwrights and filmmakers use in order to reveal inner thoughts and judgments of characters directly to the audience. Asides are necessary, since the viewer has no immediate access to those thoughts and feelings other than hearing them spoken on stage. An aside reveals secrets that the character cannot share with others; it can also be a way for one of the characters to pass judgment on a main plot event. In ancient Greek drama, the chorus fulfills this role by periodically passing judgment about the fate of the main characters.
