This research comes to shed light clearly on the aforementioned characters from the psychological point of view. And the effect of that on the course of events that they contributed to creating, or were affected by; the psychological aspect that we seek from the research is not limited to knowing the nature of the psychology of each of them, but rather it goes beyond that to knowing the influence of those around them from a psychological perspective, and consequently the effect of that on the nature of the interaction of each of them with the events that they went through, influencing and being affected by them.
