Character-Drama: *
A character who stands as a representative of a particular class or group of people is known as a type; it includes stock characters as well as more fully individualised. Ibsen and Strindberg produced characters representative of specific positions in the social relations of class & gender; conflicts between these characters revealed ideological conflicts in society The status of a character is defined through his relation with the other characters.
