Summary[]
4th Wall Awareness, more commonly called "Breaking The Fourth Wall" is the act of a character making allusions to the fact they are in a fictional reality. Additionally, they can act in ways that would be impossible within their own reality due to the fact they know their existence is just within a story. The idea and term initially come from stage plays, with the "4th wall" being the the edge of the stage that faces the audience. Breaking The Fourth Wall can include talking to the audience, affecting the "real world", rewriting speech bubbles, acknowledging that they are part of a fictional world, and even leaving the fictional work itself and entering the "real world"
