He is the Duke and he is thus mostly treated with respect because of his enormous power in Athens. He is only shown as the beginning and end of the play; thus, he is shown in the exposition giving background and the resolution (Act V) when most of the plot lines have been resolved. Thus, character development is unlikely.
