Analyze the characters, businessman and poet, in the play: Fog.
Considering that I’m permitted to write this assignment in an informal way, I’m going to take the full advantage of it, to express whatever sensible [don’t count on it] idea I have in my mind regarding the topic of the assignment, the play or the characters of the play.
First of all, the topic is great as long as I’m just under the obligation of discussing the characters but not when you’ve given us a roadmap [flat/round & dynamic/static blah...] because now I guess I’m not supposed to wander a lot; although, contrarily, I believe that the wandering area is actually where one could have found the answers to most of the questions or at least the things the playwright wanted us to notice.

In the beginning, the playwright has made the businessman look like an optimist, while the
