"The question is..are these cases of thinking outloud to oneself?? of are truly the fourth wall?"
My guess is that on television and in movies thinking out loud and breaking the fourth wall might be the same thing. On stage when an actor breaks the fourth wall, he speaks directly to the audience. Since there is not really a live audience for either television or movies, what is spoken to the care more could be either. Martha Humphreys, the intellectual wannabe Huntsville, AL Of course, Hamlet immediately came to mind. Is "to be or not to be" thinking out loud or something said directly to the audience? Guess we can turn all of it into a muddle. _______________________________________________ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
