Role evaluation

An analysis of the characters of Zhou Ping on the Internet

Viewpoint 1

Zhou Ping is the most complicated character in thunderstorm.

He resisted, but could not resist as thoroughly as Zhou Chong;

He compromise, but still conscience, will not become Zhou Puyuan such a person;

He wavered, hoping to keep his integrity, but he could not resist the temptation, so he suffered more than others.

Zhou Ping is a very pure person. Human nature is incisively and vividly expressed in him. He has not been promoted or shaped into a typical person. He is an ordinary person. Under the background of that time, we are most likely to become Zhou Ping.

Therefore, when performing Zhou Ping, it's better to show his cowardice, compromise, swing and contradiction. It's better not to have too firm expression and too passionate tone. His eyes should be melancholy, and his speaking speed should be gentle and hesitant.

Viewpoint 2

This is a weak plant, with the ups and downs of the storm. Perhaps it also has delicate roots, lush leaves, and even flowers with a faint fragrance, but it is so small that no one knows. Whenever we see it shaking and falling, people only sigh, but he quietly closes the flowers and leaves, only to choose to escape. Zhou Ping's choice is a kind of self redemption, but to save him is a bigger crime. Life is like this, full of paradoxes everywhere, and sincere feelings and sincere repentance often lead to the ruthless ridicule of fate.

Viewpoint 3

He is a coward, and he will never be worthy of Fanyi. He only has endless regret and regrets for his past mistakes made by intuition. "He admires his father. His father is stubborn and cold in his experience, but this is what he likes, because he doesn't have either of these two characters. He thinks he is a coward It's wrong to deceive his father in that respect, not because of how he loves his father (although he can't say he doesn't love him). He thinks it's mean, like a mouse's stealing a bite when a lion is asleep. When his intuition is over and his reason is cold, he hates himself more bitterly. He feels that it's anti humanity and all the pain of committing a crime When it comes to himself, he wants to save himself. He needs a new force, whatever it is, to help him out of the bitter sea of conflict.

Viewpoint 4

Another point of view is that Zhou Chong, Zhou Ping and Zhou Puyuan actually represent the three stages of a person's life like Zhou Puyuan. Zhou Ping should be a teenager like Zhou Chong when he was young, instead of being so cowardly and selfish as he is now. Judging from Zhou Chong's performance after he wanted to send Sifeng to school but was mercilessly hit by reality, he is becoming more and more like Zhou Ping, and Zhou Ping and Zhou Ping are different The relationship between the four phoenixes is the repetition of the story of Zhou Puyuan and Mei Shiping.

Character archetype

Some scholars believe that most of the characters in Cao Yu's works have archetypes. The author himself has explained the origin of many important characters, but he always keeps silent about Zhou Ping. Perhaps not without conjecture? This character is always associated with the writer himself. The author prefers to be as enthusiastic and extreme as firelight and lightning, and is distressed by his cowardly and contradictory character all his life. In his consciousness, he deeply hates Zhou Ping or her defects, and shows his dislike for this kind of character everywhere. In his subconscious, he can't let go of this "self". He deeply criticizes the endless sorrow of this delicate and sensitive soul struggling in the world with its inherent weakness. Therefore, he describes the characters written by Zhou Ping with exquisite words of falling rock, which gives a free and easy outline of a character who is agitated in his heart.
