Question 3 • DRHS Literature and Composition III
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.
