Based on the tone of the excerpt, the author most likely wants the audience to listen with compassion.

We know that because the Indian's last sentence was: "I want the white people to understand my people". In other words, he wants the non-indians present (the white people) to be sympathetic to his people, that is, to try and understand their way of life, as well as their well-known misfortune. Compassion is about being aware (understanding, knowing about) what others go through.

the original because it was the first to be created which means it is most likely to be tried the hardest. meaning the actors tried their hardest to make it right because shakespeare was so famous.

hope this : )
