Answer 2

Answer: B. aside

Explanation: The structure that Shakespeare would use for the scenario in which the protagonist talks aloud to the audience, without other characters' awareness, about her secret love for the antagonist is an aside. The aside is a dramatic device in which a character speaks to the audience without other characters hearing. The character maybe expressing some inner thought and cannot be dishonest. It is briefer than a monologue or a solilloquy.
