Question 5 • SC-English 3 Honors
Stage directions give actors instructions about how to move or deliver their lines, rather than giving the spoken words or identifying who speaks. “(stiffly)” and “(with a little bow to her)” describe how a character acts, so they are stage directions. “COUNTY ATTORNEY” and “MRS HALE” identify speakers, while “There’s a great deal of work to be done on a farm” is dialogue.
