It also sheds the light on the schools of drama in general considering them as the main source for creating a series of events that we can visualize through the actions of a particular character because this research is basically useful for the scholars in the artistic and dramatic sphere, especially to the dramatist to analyze the dramatists’ figures in the light of their psychological dimension.
