This sense of discontent on the part of laborers is demonstrated through the Haymarket Affair of 1866.

Doctor Faustus' Changing Relationship with the Audience Any good drama will have interesting and multi-faceted characters; some go a step further by developing some of those characters throughout the story, using the events of the plot to change them in various ways.
