Blogpost #2 Character

Character has been exemplified as an essential ingredient to both plays and novels. Characters make a play or novel through a character's conflict, temptation, struggles, and successes which are all explained clearly through dialogue and the author's ability to express the character in ways that the reader can follow and understand. The most important idea about character is the ability of an author to express and explain the intentions, personality, and dispositions of a character in an author's novel or play. Without a good examination and explanation of a character in a novel, the reader will be confused on where the main point stands and since the character connects to the plot, the reader will also be confused about what events or conflicts need to be discussed in the play or novel. An example of a great character is Hamlet who is exemplified by Shakespeare in diction as an interesting but intriguing character who makes the play become more realistic and also a reader can follow the protagonist and understand more about the plot. Hamlet, the protagonist, has a unique disposition and personality that Shakespeare clearly portrays in his diction about how Hamlet has two conflicting personalities and has conflict/disagreement with the antagonist who is King Claudius. Shakespeare exemplifies Hamlet's every move and disposition which allows the reader to follow the protagonist and also help the reader learn more about both the antagonist and the plot. Character is an essential theme to both novels and plays and help allow the reader to understand and relate to certain issues in the novel or play that need to be discussed to learn more about the plot.
