List of Characters in The
Labyrinth (Le Labyrinthe) — 1958 By Fernando Arrabal
The play has a relatively
small cast, with the Old Man serving as the central figure around whom
the action develops. The principal characters are:
1. The
Old Man – The central character of the play. He wanders through
the mysterious labyrinth and attempts to understand his surroundings, his
situation, and the events taking place around him.
2. The
Young Man – A significant figure whom the Old Man encounters
during his journey. His interactions with the Old Man contribute to the
uncertainty and strange atmosphere of the play.
3. The
Old Woman – A figure encountered within the dramatic world of the
play. Her presence adds to the unusual and mysterious circumstances surrounding
the Old Man.
4. The
Young Woman – Another figure who appears in the course
of the Old Man's experiences and contributes to the shifting and dreamlike
nature of the action.
5. Other
Figures / Minor Characters – The play also contains additional
figures who appear within the Old Man's strange surroundings. Their presence
contributes to the atmosphere of confusion, repetition, and uncertainty rather
than forming a conventional supporting cast.
The Old Man remains
the principal focus of the play, while the other characters are largely
encountered through his bewildering journey through the labyrinth.
