Question

You wish to write stage directions for character who is hopelessly in love, although the love is unreturned. Which of the following stage directions best reflect the mood of the character?

A. (She tosses her head and prances away.)

B. (She shakes her head and smiles.)

C. (She sighs softly)

D. (Confused, she pauses in the middle of the stage.)

Answer 1

C. (She sighs softly)

Step-by-step explanation:

The character is hopelessly in love, but that love is unreturned. She loves the other character, but feels hopeless, which is why she sighs. It wouldn't make a lot of sense for her to be happy, unless she was completely clueless. She might be confused, but the best way to reflect the character's hopeless love is to have her sigh.
