In order to understand the traits of Widge, it's necessary to understand the role he plays in the story.
To make it short, Widge is a 14-year-old orphan, who's master (Simon 'Falconer' Bass) wants him to steal Shakespeare's newest play, Hamlet. But after being part of an acting group that treats him like family for the first time in his life, Widge becomes divided between his loyalties to his master and to the troupe.
So, from this, we can gather not one, but three traits of Widge:
(1) Curiosity. As befits an average, 14-year-old boy, Widge is very inquisitive. It is his curiosity regarding the play that creates this conundrum, since he becomes more and more attached to the plot and actors of the play.
(2) Loyalty. In contrast to his childish nature, Widge remains loyal to his manipulative master, and finds himself becoming more and more loyal towards 'Lord Chamberlain's Men' and Shakespeare. This division of loyalty becomes one of the main conflicts in the book.
(3) Kindness. In contrast to how Falconer is depicted as ruthless and cruel, Widge is kind both to his friends and to Shakespeare. Being kind (and perhaps naive), Widge can't bear the thought of something happening to Shakespeare or the Lord Chamberlain's Men - and this is what drives the happy ending of the book.
In the beginning of "The Shakespeare Stealer," Widge is characterized by his resourcefulness and adaptability. As a boy with a unique ability to write down speeches verbatim, he uses this skill to navigate his challenging circumstances. His background as an orphan and his experiences with unscrupulous characters have made him cautious yet clever, allowing him to survive in a harsh environment. This blend of ingenuity and survival instinct shapes his early interactions and decisions.
Manupulative, That's her most important character trait in the story, as it drives the entire plot.
Cleverness isn't necessarily a trait of the tragic hero. It's the ability to use to one's benefit a situation in which one finds oneself. The clever individual particularly knows how to emerge from or take advantage of adverse situations. Oftentimes, the tragic hero ends up in a rut from which it's impossible to emerge because of inflexible thought patterns or equally stubborn character traits.
A mannerism in drama is an odd or repetitive trait your character has. A example would be twirling my hair if i were a teenage girl. These are also known as habits. Hope it helps!
A major character trait of Macbeth and Lady Macbeth is that (to a certain extent) they regret the murders of Duncan, Banquo, etc. It eventually drives them into madness
