The sentence from Herman Melville's short story "The Lightning-Rod Man" which is an example of allusion is the one we find in letter B. Who has empowered you, you Tetzel, to peddle round your indulgences from divine ordinations?
One of the characters is mocked by being called Tetzel, who was a German Dominican preacher who sold "indulgences" (paid forgiveness for one's sins) in the 1500's. In the aforementioned sentence, there is an allusion to Martin Luther, who was openly against Tetzel and his "indulgences". An allusion is an indirect reference to something or someone, and Martin Luther is indirectly mentioned in the sense that it's like he is talking to his adversary. Except it's not Martin Luther himself speaking; it's one of the characters who try to impersonate him.
Hello. You did not show the stage directions to which the question refers, which makes it impossible for it to be answered. However, I will try to help you in the best possible way.
Stage directions are instructions from the author of a play about how the actors should act, move and what emotion or idea they must convey through the performance. In this case, it is only possible to know what the instructions indicate about the two characters, by reading these instructions. A stage direction, for example, can show that the actor must show nervousness, or distrust in a certain scene, which shows that the character behaves with nervousness and mistrust.
