From a description of
the scene, we are transported into the mind of the harrowed war soldier,

the scene is reminiscent of the following line from a poem “The Second coming”
by William Butler Yeats is "Things fall apart; the center cannot
hold." Septimus believes that he is the one stopping the world from
bursting to flames:” It is I who am blocking the way, he thought. Was he not
being looked at and pointed at; was he not weighted there, rooted to the
pavement, for a purpose?”

The first example, as it can most easily be proved or disproved and is not an opinion.
The correct answer for the question that is being presented above is this one: "to provide information about how the characters should move or speak onstage." Based on how the stage directions are used in this excerpt from act I, scene I of Richard III, the main purpose of providing stage directions in a drama is to provide information about how the characters should move or speak onstage
