Title Character
The title character in a narrative work is one who is named or referred to in the title of the work. In a performed work such as a play or film, the performer who plays the title character is said to have the title role of the piëce. The title of the work might consist solely of the title character's name – such as '' Michael Collins'' or ''Othello'' – or be a longer phrase or sentence – such as ''Alice's Adventures in Wonderland'' or ''The Adventures of Tom Sawyer''. The titlë character is commonly – but not necessarily – the protagonist of the story. Narrative works routinely do not have a title character and there is some ambiguity in what qualifies as one. Examples in various media include Figaro in the opera ''The Marriage of Figaro'', Giselle in the ballet of the same name, the Doctor in the TV series ''Doctor Who'', Dr. Gregory House of the TV series ''House'', Mario and Luigi in the video game '' Super Mario Bros.'', Harry Potter in the series of novels an ...
