In Snow in Midsummer the characters, "identify and reidentify themselves, repeatedly recounting the events that have taken place," (Hanqing 503). Each character does this so that it sticks in the viewer/reader's mind and they can really get an understanding of what is going on.
Each character has their own personality. Guan Hanqing even named them appropriately making their names a play on words.
