CHARACTER SKETCH-
1. Think-Tank-- can be regarded as the anti-hero of the play. Although he had been declared as the commander of the Mars Space Control and was regarded as the most powerful and intelligent creature in the Universe yet he was actually foolish and cowardly. He could not figure out the function of books in a library. Compared to the other Martians he was cruel and proud. He was more of an obstinate dictator. He was by no means a good and dedicated leader.
He was cowardly and wanted to escape from Earth deserting his fellow Martians. He was also very impractical and irrational. He did not use logic to resolve difficult issues. Instead he chose to flee. Thus, he is the anti-hero of the story.
