This response demonstrates a partial understanding of the text. The student uses both expressed information (there, ranged on a deep red carpet is a throng of prostrate noblemen and courtiers facing a raised dais; the stage direction indicates that he says that with flashing eyes) and implied information (he looks powerful and worshiped like a god from his people; we can see from his face that he wants to be respected and that he is ready to use force to obtain that). These details support the student's opinion that the picture makes a perfect portrait of the character.
