The prominent representative of young Slovak theatrological generation states that the characters of Slovak drama after 1990 represent a whole complex of diverse individuals reduced from dramatic characters to standardized ones. Sometimes there are presented the realistic characters, which are hyperbolized, banal and mock. Another time, they are replaced by a certain 'live' metaphors. Their physical appearance, a visual side of the characters, is not clearly established rather they can be distinguished through their speech. The vast majority of the characters are neutral or negative, while positive figures are the exception. The characters are passive there is not the slightest tendency to change the circumstances which they are experienced. Following the line hero - antihero - non-hero, the authoress believes that most of the characters can be categorized as non-heroes. She defines non-hero as a person who does not want even fight, neither hold pinion or clearly articulate on a position, but is also against anything (that is no longer against something). The authors often put their characters straight into the constructed or pre-set situations that result in further changes, e.g. in the structure, concept, dialogues and the language of drama. Dramatic characters were replaced by ambivalent, non-solid and uncertain types. Uncertainty is often complemented with them fleeing into the virtual or unreal and parallel (sometimes dream) world that these characters merge with reality, or are melt in a different reality. Characters loose confidence in their own being and they loose consciousness of themselves. The loss of context (of history, culture, nation, situation, individual, relationships, language) makes the characters harder to succeed, to find their own way, to communicate and understand, depriving them of the opportunity to make a move.
