When reading a play, the reader has to imagine the
A. lines of conversation between characters.
B.style of language the playwright has chosen.
C.final outcome in the last section of the play.
D.details of setting and characters’ appearance.
Answer:- D.details of setting and characters’ appearance.
While reading a play the reader should picture the actions going on in the background, and the setting and the features of the character. Whereas a novel or a short story offers leeway for descriptions and implies physical environments and the characters’ appearances partially, playwrights resort to dialogue majorly. In this case the author generally limits and defines only by a few stage directions or the characters’ descriptions, so the reader is free to use his/her creative imagination in order to visualize what is happening. People must imagine not only the time period, location, and other props/stage props, but also must be able to depict the entire envisment in their minds’ eye. Furthermore, they need to invent the physical characteristics and mannerism of those characters regardless how the same will look like with the little information provided making the dialog and action pictures in the reader’s mind real.
