MRS HALE: . . . . (She puts the bottle on the big kitchen table, center of the room. With a sigh, is about to sit down in the rocking-chair. Before she is seated realizes what chair it is; with a slow look at it, steps back. The chair which she has touched rocks back and forth.)

How does this stage direction help the reader?


Sagot :

Answer:

The stage directions help the reader by establishing a mood

Explanation:

     Without the stage directions of this play, we may not have known the mood. She "sighs" and "looks back slowly" giving us hints as to what the mood may be.

     Stage directions are commonly used to show, not only action, but what dialogue cannot.

Have a nice day!

     I hope this is what you are looking for, but if not - comment! I will edit and update my answer accordingly.
