Talk:Fourth Wall/@comment-4099487-20111017223916/@comment-4008458-20111017225153

Pretend that the scene is a rectangular room with four walls. The four walls have no doors or windows or any openings. Now when someone breaks the fourth wall, they're including the world around them or us, the audience, and the camera and crew so it seems like they know that it's a show and thus removing the four walls blocking the character's knowledge of the show.
