   4. Other characters, also described
   5. The scene or scenes and, if the play does not take place in the present, the time of its action
   6. The major dramatic question (some conflict whose outcome we wonder about, some uncertainty to whose resolution we look forward)

   8. The tone of the play, playwright’s apparent feelings toward the characters or what happens to them
   9. The language spoken in the play (does language indicate a character’s background or place of birth?; brief quotations will be valuable)
