Fiddler on the Roof
The fiddler is not exactly a main character- he never speaks. However, what is important about the fiddler is that he is present for all the important moments in Tevye's journey that is shown in the musical.
The musical "Fiddler on the Roof" takes its name from the painting "The Fiddler" by Marc Chagall, which depicts a fiddler perched precariously on a rooftop. This imagery symbolizes the central character Tevye's struggle to maintain tradition and balance in a changing world. The fiddler represents the tension between stability and chaos in life, much like the characters in the story who navigate social and cultural upheaval.
