<span><span>A character is an imaginary person who takes part in the action of a play.</span><span>Drama tends to compress and simplify the personalities of characters, often relying on types to quickly sketch out and draw contrasts between them. </span>Unlike fiction, plays do not usually have narrators who can provide the reader or viewer with background information on characters. Consequently, the information we receive about them is limited to the dialogue they themselves speak.<span>The main character, or leading role, of a dramatic text is called the protagonist.</span><span>The antagonist is the counterpart or opponent of the protagonist.</span><span>In more traditional or popular dramatic texts, the protagonist may be called a hero or heroine, and the antagonist may be called the villain. </span><span>Dramatic texts also include minor characters or supporting roles. </span><span>Sometimes a supporting role can be said to be a foil, a character designed to bring out qualities in another character by contrast. </span>All the characters in a drama are interdependent and help to characterize each other.<span>Because of time constraints and the lack of narrators or room for exposition in dramatic texts, playwrights use shortcuts like stereotypes to convey character. Everyone involved, including the audience, consciously or unconsciously relies on stereotypes, or assumptions about various social roles, to understand characters. </span><span>In the United States today, casting—or typecasting—usually relies on an actor's social identity, from gender and race to occupation, region, age, and values. </span>Sometimes playwrights, directors, and actors overturn or modify expectations or conventions of characterization in order to surprise the audience.</span>

The superhero "NightHawk" has excellent night vision but poor vision in the daytime. One reason for "NightHawk’s" ability is due
zheka24 [161]

Answer:

3). Rods.

Explanation:

As per the question, NightHawk's ability to have an outstanding vision at night while deficient during daytime is due to 'large number of rods' in his eye as<em> these rods(being exclusively responsible for night vision) enable them to see at night due to being relatively more sensitive than the cones.</em><em> </em>NightHawk's day vision is poor as these rods are almost insensitive to color and they(rods) help in 'peripheral or indirect vision' not the 'central or direct vision'. Thus, <u>option 3</u> is the correct answer.
