House of Trials
There are various unique characteristics in House of Trials showing it is a comedia. One thing that really stood out to me was the fact that there are so many asides. There isn't any sense of inner monologue, because the characters simply say their thoughts out loud. A specific example of this would be when Celia literally talks about the monologue being given in the moonlight. This directly leads into another convention, which is the fact that in using the asides, the character dictates the inner workings of their minds to the audience by breaking the fourth wall. This convention really serves the purpose of drawing readers/audience members into the plot because they are receiving a direct line of communication.

This is also something I noticed in the play . It appeared as if they embraced breaking through the forth wall in order to better explain situations and involve the audience.
