In the scene where Eliza returns home and puts herself to bed, the description is lengthier than dialogue. Give more than one reason for this stylistic choice.

This question is about the play "Pygmalion"

Answer and Explanation:

The author decided to make a description greater than the dialogue to build the ambience and give a sensation to the public through this, mainly by creating mental images. The mental images make the public visualize everything that is being described, through the strong use of adjectives that the author used to describe the place, the environment, Eliza's reaction, her thoughts, her perceptions and especially her feelings about what happened and is happening at the moment.
