Well my mind went into a completely different direction. What determines what happens in a play? Is it accurate to say that charcters in a play make decisions? I could imagine the stance that “the writer completely determines how the characters function interally so there is no wiggleroom for them to do anything” and “the actors project unconcious impulses into their characters and/or an actor can “run a foreign program” where which subtrate conciousness embodies the role doesn’t dictate what the role does, the role dictates what should happen”. Like The Doctor of the who is a somewhat consistent character that is played by differnt actors and written by different writers.
