Answer:
Hale is frightened and unsure of herself
Explanation:
Hale knocked on the door and is unsure whether she heard someone ask her to come in.
This shows she is unsure of herself.
She opened the door and saw Mrs Wright, as she recounts to the women. In her description, she seems frightened or badly shaken by how she saw Mrs Wright sitting on the rocker.
Perhaps she was not expecting to see Mrs Wright in whatever state she met her in so she is a bit shaken up by the incident and stutters in her monologue. This shows her fright.
From the monologue and stage directions, it's clear Hale is frightened and unsure of herself.
