Often the principle characters have a parallel in one or more of the minor characters.
Create a chart identifying any parallels of plot or situation between the major and minor characters in the play that your students are studying- having first checked that there are parallels to be explored. Identify key relationships, events and interactions. This could be done as a flow diagram or as a series of story boards.
Once learners have done this ask them to consider how it helps them to understand the principle characters better? Why do they think that Shakespeare has these parallels?
