PERSONA DRAMATIS IN WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE’S OTHELLO

Summary/Abstract: This paper aims to discuss the dramatic character and its formation as one of the basic elements of drama. The introductory section discusses the demands set in front of the dramatist during the formation of persona dramatis, regarding the figuration of characters, possible types into which they can be sorted and dramatic functions they can perform, and communication and dialogue in drama. It has been examined how the characters of Shakespeare’s Othello represent the types of dramatic characters within Souriau’s model of dramatic functions. Souriau’s model has been applied in two ways in this drama, depending on the given thematic force. Following this analysis, the paper analyses the three main dramatic characters of the play: Othello, Iago, and Desdemona. The analysis of personae dramatis focuses on the relationship between Othello and Iago as the protagonist and the antagonist, as well as on the relationship between Othello and Desdemona.
