Dictionaries unanimously agree that the term "character" refers to the traits that distinguish a certain person from another. Each trait of the character of the individual should take into consideration his general external appearance and the nature of his abilities, decisions, motives, reactions, expertise, and the total values and attitudes that direct his behavior. The literary character is one of the imaginary or real individuals with whom the events of the novel or play deal. A number of values and traits are attributed to it, which can be discovered through the dialogue, the verbs and the description that the reader reads or hears. Like every human or non-human being that appeared in literature, whether individually or collectively, the character has a specific function in the story. Besides, it has physical, moral, and rational traits, which vary from one character to the other according to the function that is attributed to it, whether major or minor, and according to the literary genre in which it plays a certain role. In short, the character can be defined as the total traits that constitute the nature of the human being.
