be
revealed
through
actions,
dialogue
or thoughts-"( Kirzsner,
2000, p.93)
Based on the opinion
of Kirzsner (2000):
'·Character
is
a fictional
representative
of
a person
-
usually (but
not
necessarily)
a
psychologically
realistic
depiction." (p. 93)
The

have
different

more
about
the

"Should
a
character
behave
in
a
sudden
and
unexpected way,
seeming to
deny
what
we
have
been
told
about his
nature
or
personality,
we trust
that
l:e
had
a
reason
and
that
sooner
or
later
we
will
discover
it."

1991.
