Answer
Breaking the fourth wall is a theatrical device where characters address the audience directly, acknowledging their presence and the artificiality of the performance. This technique, popularized by the playwright Thornton Wilder, allows for a more intimate and personal connection between the characters and the audience, adding a layer of self-awareness and blurring the boundaries between reality and fiction.
