      - Protagonist
        
        A character who is typically the "hero", or in some cases the closest thing to that role. Their motivation and desires mostly move the plot forward and serve as the basis for conflict. They are often the main or one of the main characters.

        Titular Billy Budd is portrayed as a Christ-like figure and can be considered a protagonist.
      - Narrator
        
        Someone who is telling us the story. This can be a character in the story, or someone removed from. Sometimes we are never told the identity of a narrator, or the narrator is so distant as to not be a focal point, while in other times a narrator is so close as to sometimes become unreliable or especially biased in their storytelling.

        Stage direction indicating Stanley's anger or annoyance, or Blanche's fear of raw light and being "visible"
        
        In a way less subtle reading than in other literary forms, but the direction decisions themselves are open for interpretation
