Answer to Question 2

ANSWER: Style refers to a distinctive mode of expression or method of presentation. Style can
reflect traits attributable to a period, a nation, a movement, or an author.
Style stems from:assumptions
about what is truthful and valuable.
the manner in which a playwright manipulates the means of expression.
the manner in which the play is presented in the theatre.
Individual playwrights' conception of truth is determined by basic temperament and by the
culture in which they live.
A play's situations, characters, and ideas reflect the author's unique perspective on the
world, which is grounded in time period and cultural context.
Production elements for each individual staging, such as direction and design, will
influence the style in the translation of the play for an audience.
