The excerpt is an example of exposition. Exposition typically introduces characters, their relationships, and the setting, providing background information that is necessary for understanding the context of the play. In this case, we are introduced to Mary, Emily, and George Ollivant, as well as their dynamics and surroundings.
Tradition by George Middleton The OLLIVANTS are discovered together. MARY, a rather plain woman of about twenty-five, with a suggestion of quick sensibilities, is standing, lost in thought, looking out into the garden. Her mother, EMILY, nearing fifty, quiet and subdued in manner, is seated at the table trimming a hat. GEORGE OLLIVANT is reading. He is well on in middle life, with a strong, determined face. When he finishes, he folds the paper, takes off his spectacles and wipes them as he, too, looks over toward his daughter, still gazing absently into the garden. Finally, after a slight hesitation, he goes to her and puts his arm about her; she is startled but smiles sweetly. "Tradition" by George Middleton Question Use the excerpt to answer the question.
