In the following original drama excerpt, Father Oren addresses the audience in brief prayers that reveal his private stance. How does his perspective shape the drama? [Hospital corridor. Night. Fluorescent lights. A vending machine hums.] LENA (in scrubs): Father, she's asking for you. OREN: I'm here. OREN (prayer to audience): Let my voice be a door, not a verdict. LENA: She's angry. OREN: Then she's awake. OREN (prayer to audience): I tell myself that anger is a kind of breathing. If I stop believing that, I'll start calling it disrespect. [From behind a closed door, a woman's laugh turns abruptly into coughing.] LENA (flinching): She won't sign the form. OREN: Forms are for the living. OREN (prayer to audience): I say that because it sounds merciful. The truth is I'm afraid of paper—how it pretends to be final. [He reaches for the door handle, hesitates, then knocks.] Which choice best describes how Oren's prayer to audience perspective affects the scene's portrayal of authority?
