The characters of William Shakespeare’s plays appeal to
audiences because of their complexity.
This means that the character has many dimensions. He is not entirely bad or good and there are
explanations why his characters do the things that they do. It is something the audience can relate to
because just like the audience who watch his plays, his characters are just
like everyday people who have their flaws and their virtues. Depending upon the
situation even the minor characters shine when they perform on stage.
