A Christian Turn'd Turk - Characters

Characters

The list of dramtis personae printed in the 1612 quarto is incomplete and innaccurate. I have revised the list, adding missing characters' names, removing "ghost characters", correcting inconsistencies, and eliminating confusion.

Famous quotes containing the word characters:

    No one of the characters in my novels has originated, so far as I know, in real life. If anything, the contrary was the case: persons playing a part in my life—the first twenty years of it—had about them something semi-fictitious.
    Elizabeth Bowen (1899–1973)

    Thus we may define the real as that whose characters are independent of what anybody may think them to be.
    Charles Sanders Peirce (1839–1914)

    It is open to question whether the highly individualized characters we find in Shakespeare are perhaps not detrimental to the dramatic effect. The human being disappears to the same degree as the individual emerges.
    Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)
