Old morality plays often had characters who represented abstract concepts and ideas like Patience, Greed, or Deeds. As the English drama developed through the sixteenth century, such characters were eventually dropped, although the idea of a character who was a villain remained: such a character is often called a "Vice". Morality Play characters of this kind can be found, for example in John Bales's King Johan, written in the 1550s, the history is peopled with Vices called Sedition and Dissimulation. But by the time Shakespeare was writing Hamlet, these characters had gone out of fashion. No such persons appear, apart from in prologues, in any Shakespeare play.
