The stage manager serves many functions. Which of these is not one of them?

Presenting the author's view on many issues

Giving the audience background information

Bringing the audience into the play, making it easier for them to identify the setting with their own town

Making sure the audience can see and hear the actors

What seems to be the point of the first act?

To introduce the characters and show them in their ordinary daily lives

To show contrast between appearance and reality in their lives

To foreshadow the action of the later acts

To build suspense for the dramatic conclusion to come

Which one of these lines can be interpreted to mean that one has to appreciate life to make life fuller; when one doesn't have life anymore, one can't appreciate life as one could have when alive?

"You've got to love life to have life, and you've got to have life to love life."

"There isn't much culture, but maybe this is the place to tell you that we've got a lot of pleasures of a kind here."

Now there are some things we all know, but we don't take'm out and look at'm very often.

"We're all hunting like everybody else for a way the diligent and sensible can rise to the top and the lazy and quarrelsome can sink to the bottom."

"Everybody has a right to their own troubles." How are troubles seen in the context of the play?

They are seen as some of those little things people don't appreciate; as a contrast to the good times

They are seen as a great burden

They are seen as the backbone of character building

They are seen as folly caused by people's own humanity

George and Emily decided that they were "meant for each other" for several reasons. Which of the following is NOT one of the reasons?

They were born on the same day in the same year, were the same height, and had the same general average in high school

They had been admiring each other from afar for some time

Emily had been helping George with his schoolwork earlier

George realized that if Emily thought enough of him to bring a flaw in his character to his attention, that she must really care for him

What was the "topic" of Act II?

It was the importance of children

How does the stage manager describe death?

He says that dead people get "weaned away from earth." They gradually lose interest in the tings they had and the people they loved.

He says that most people leave the world kicking and screaming, just the way they come into it

He says that death is a highly personal experience, and can't really be accurately described except by the person who is dying, so we will never really know what it is like.

He is very matter-of-fact, and says it is just a part of life.

A new character, Sam Craig, was introduced in Act Three. What was his function?

While the character is being filled in on background information, so is the audience

The author is setting the play up so that we can write a sequel if this first one is well-received by the audience

It is a symbolism that things change

His function is to bring Grover's Corners into the modern world

Emily says, "they're sort of shut up in little boxes." Whom is she describing?

She is joking about how birthday and wedding presents must feel inside their boxes. In the play, the little boxes are symbols of people's small minds and petty problems.

Emily says, "I never realized before how troubled and how...how in the dark live persons are." What does she mean?

People get so busy with their own thoughts, ambitions, and problems that they don't take time to open themselves up to try and see, understand, and appreciate everything in the world

Now that she is in heaven, she is happy and her troubles are over

She was in a state of denial when she was alive, and thought everyone else was perfect

Death brings insight that life couldn't possibly give

What did Emily say about life?

"Oh, earth, you're too wonderful for anybody to realize you!"

"The strain's so bad that every sixteen hours everybody lies down and gets a rest."

"Ignorance and blindness are all there really is."

"There are some surprises waiting for you on the table."

"Mother Gibbs," said Emily, "...They don't understand, do they?" What don't they understand, and who are "they"?

They are the living who don't understand the importance of enjoying every moment of life

They are the audience, and they don't understand the true meaning of the play

They are the poor souls who died without the salvation of religion

They are the relatives of the deceased. They don't understand how happy the dead are to be free of the burden of life
