Based on the passage, it can be concluded that the playwright did not include Rebecca's father and Sojourner Truth in the play's action to maintain their influence as unseen characters. By not physically appearing, these characters can be portrayed as powerful figures who have a significant impact on the events of the play. This allows the playwright to focus on the consequences and actions of other characters who are directly involved in the play's action. Additionally, the absence of these characters may be intentional to create intrigue and curiosity among the audience about their significance in the narrative.
