Answer:

According to Goffman, the front stage refers to the area where a player performs a specific role before an audience.

Step-by-step explanation:

Goffman believed every individual interacts in a dramaturgical way, a theatrical way with others. Everyone is an actor, playing a specific role and relating to others through the stage.

According to him, the front stage is a conduct which an individual engages in when he/she knows he/she has an audience, meaning others are watching his/her behaviors. It's what one present to the outside world, making him/herself look good.
