Entertainment / Literature / Ghost Characters: This term should not be confused with characters who happen to appear on stage as ghosts. Shakespearean scholars use the word 'ghost characters' to refer to characters listed in the stage directions or the list of dramatis personae but who appear to say nothing, take no explicit part in the action, and are neither addressed nor mentioned by any other characters in the play. For instance, some quarto editions of Much Ado About Nothing list such characters in the first stage directions and again in Act III.
