Character Summary

Characters are related to plot because the plot dictates who they will be friends and enemies with. However the characters in fiction are very different from those in plays. In a play we see the performace and feel more connected to the characters while in a book the characters are just in our head. The charaters in plays get more of a life and personality of thier own, where as the characters in fiction we can only see in their own enviroment in the book and can't seperate plot from character. Hamlet molds his own personal belifs and opinions and we can see his personality, but Mrs. Bennet is part of her environment and shares common belifs with everyone else and is just part of the book, not her own person. The same can be said about Claudius and Jane.
