RC for Nurse = whole play minus Nurse\u2019s contributions. \u2026 Why use a reference corpus of the same play? \u2018Characters are partly shaped by their context. Thus, it makes little sense to compare, say, the characters of Romeo and Juliet with the characters of Macbeth or Anthony and Cleopatra, since the fictional worlds of Italy, Scotland and Egypt provide very different contextual influences. Furthermore, characters, like people, are partly perceived in terms of whom they interact with \u2026\u2019 (Culpeper 2002: 16)", "Image XResolution": "37", "Image YResolution": "37", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Centimeter", "Image Software": "SlidePlayer", "Image YCbCrPositioning": "Centered"}
