Part of Enis' tragic character to me is his inability to express himself. It would take a shrewd composer to give him a voice and vocalize his feelings while showing the pain of his keeping his emotions hidden and inside.

And yet, isn't that a good use of song? To be his inner thoughts, juxtaposed with his simple and sparse choice of words and inability to express himself that way to others? I think it could be very effective.

The puppeteer in CARNIVAL, someone who cannot express himself in person, has two great soliloquy songs. That might be the way to go for a character who doesn't express himself to others.

Excellent point.
