Question

What effect does the stage direction have on the scene? By leaving Hamlet alone on stage, the audience learns how truly upset he is. When everyone leaves, it shows how the rest of the family shuns Hamlet. Having just Hamlet on the stage makes him the most appealing character. When the audience sees Hamlet by himself they assume he has no friends.1

Answer 1

The correct answer is "By leaving Hamlet alone on stage, the audience learns how truly upset he is".  Shakespeare wrote Hamlet between 1599 and1601. Hamlet, Prince of Denmark is a tragedy. A tragedy is a dignified work in which the main character undergoes a struggle and suffers a downfall. To say that there is no Hamlet until an actor embodies him on stage is to agree with performance-oriented critics.

Answer 2

It shows center of the audience.
