Caliban, for example, never really changes, and neither does Ariel. There are some characters who change, such as Leontes and Alonso, who repent of what they've done. The others, though, seem to be more didactic characters. Even Leontes at first is kind of static and one-dimensional, embodying jealousy. I think his fixed characters are meant to teach us about ourselves.Justin Walterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06174433747464094565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1373099996386695972.post-83973779533047143912011-10-19T21:33:06.587-07:002011-10-19T21:33:06.587-07:00I'm flattered. :P A comment on your own post ...I'm flattered. :P A comment on your own post though - do you think any of Shakespeare's characters will change? I don't know that every player in Shakespeare's world had fixed fates. Do you think he tended to have more fixed characters though in order to help the audience connect to and categorize them?Angela Hooperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17242946888529650641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1373099996386695972.post-74529640981538645502011-10-17T17:38:17.333-07:002011-10-17T17:38:17.333-07:00PS.
