But that's not the only way for us, as screenwriters, to define our characters.
Here's an interesting quote from a book that explores the subject of ecology.
When we surround our main characters with others, we are defining who they are - their economic means and their dominance or lack of dominance. Through dialog and action we can contrast them against other characters to create a clear picture."Humans are not specially privileged species but mere nodes in the grand web of life, properly defined more by their relationships to other species than by their individual characteristics."
