How to express this meaning, please?
I wanna express this meaning: the role called Judith in the play is designed as a spoiled child first, but later, she develops into an independent and strong woman. Can I say: The female characters, including later Judith, are the representatives of strength and independence. What I wanna ask is: Is it right to use 'later' in this context? If not, how could I put it? Thank you very much.

Question

Answer

You may want to word your statement as," The female character, Judith, plays the role of a spoiled child but later develops into an independent and strong woman."

You can introduce Judith as the character she portrayed and then mention the woman she later becomes.  If you don't want to reword the first statement you could also try, "Later in the play the female character, Judith, represents strength and independence whereas when she was a child she was spoiled.

There are several different ways you can word your statement.  I hope the two examples I provided help.

Answer

Yes Leo, you can  use "later in this manner.

However, it is not reasonable to conclude, that merely because "Judith" changes, that all other characters change.
