This paper is aimed at bringing forth a number of characters forming the world of the play Ultima oră, by Mihail Sebastian. As the characters are strongly designed upon their actions and gestures within the plot, one can draw a map of features shared by most of the figures sustaining the plot, as well as classifying these figures in some character schemes. For instance, every editorial office has a chief editor; how does he act? What does the balance between his appearance and his actions look like, as far as his attributions are concerned? This kind of questions should be answered to in the following paper, continuously tracing the literary fact.
