I'd say the best option is "representation of reality itself" considering it is art and literature of making real life out of the play or writings.
No, it is not imagery.
Imagery would tell you how he looks specifically, these are all general observations. You cannot imagine him in a detailed manner with this info. Is he blond? Is he a brunette? Does he have pale skin? If we can't make an image in our mind, then it's not imagery. Imagery consists of SPECIFIC details. For example, imagery would be, "His eyes were a crystal blue, as if they were made of water. It seemed like you could jump right into them and swim for hours."
o, once compound words are closed or hyphenated they are counted as one word. If the compound word is open, e.g., "post office," it is counted as two words.
I think you are right. The form verbs take to express a hypothetical or possible situation.
