How do dramatic characters reflect the era and culture in which they were created?
What will be an ideal response?
Every era and culture develops its own view of the human psyche and how it understands people and their motivations, and these views are reflected in the era's dramatic characters. For instance, ancient Greeks saw human action in a struggle with the gods, and the characters in the plays of this period often grapple with their desires and the gods' will. In the twentieth century, under the influence of Freud, human behavior was viewed as the result of the dark inner forces of repressed desire, and characters with more psychological complexity became common during this period.
