Imam Hussein, alone in the burning desert, occasionally laments his terrible loneliness and summons his grandfather [[Prophet Muhammad|Prophet]] against the companions who have left him alone for fear of death. There are scenes in the Ta'ziya where one can identify the popular and the hated characters, however some articles do not introduce the characters as completely white or absolutely black. The majority of the writers of the articles view the language of the  Ta'ziya as folky. Almost all articles point out that all the  Ta'ziya are similar in subject matter but differ in design and construction, and this difference can be seen in their wording.
