Star Wars is called a space opera because that’s the name of the genre. I understand that its a circular answer it that level because it does not explain how the space opera genre got its name.
Space operas have stories with showy drama that is very shallow when analyzed. There are good good guys, bad bad guys and no one in between. There are love stories without mundane dating. There are battles between empires without questioning why each side is the way it is.
There are several stories on way the name space opera emerged for the genre. See other responses for “horse opera” and “soap opera”. But I suggest the the similarity with stage operas is more apt than you seem to think.
Stage operas have stories with showy drama that is very shallow when analyzed. There are good good guys, bad bad guys and no one in between. There are love stories without mundane dating. There are battles between kingdoms without questioning why each side is the way it is. Very parallel!

Answer:
The reader would know why Mrs. Copperfield is not very pleased to see Miss Betsey.
The reader would know why Mrs. Copperfield is worried about herself and her son.
Explanation:
When writing a narrative or story from the point of view of the person performing the action, the readers get to understand why they perform some actions because they can listen to what's going through their mind and its more expressive than using third person point of view.
Therefore, if the story was told from the point of view of Mrs. Copperfield, the story would be different because the reader would know why Mrs. Copperfield is not very pleased to see Miss Betsey.
The reader would know why Mrs. Copperfield is worried about herself and her son.
The poet, Yeats, is describing the daily routing of an old mother. He presents his ideas in a poem describing how she completes those activities. He is descring the old woman as hardworking and tired, and he presents these ideas in the last line, where it says that she must work because she is old and the seed of the fire (a lantern most likely representing her life or her day) gets feeble and cold (it ends). In essence, the author describes the old woman as harworking and tired, and at the end of the day, the "fire," or the Sun, grows feeble and cold, signifying that the day is ending and the cycle will begin again tomorrow.
