There are many characters in Teahouse, and there are more than 30 * * * in the first three acts, so I won't analyze them one by one. In this lesson, we mainly analyze some important figures appearing or involved in the excerpts of the text, including: Wang Lifa, Master Chang, Master Song, Song Enzi, Wu Xiangzi, Liu, Tang Tiezui and several Qin masters mentioned in the text.

(1) Wang Lifa.

1. Take different attitudes towards different people.

(1), to refugees, Li San and others: "Don't waste time!" "We have time to study our business!"

Toughness and indifference to refugees, although sympathetic to Li San, is limited, showing his selfishness.

(2) To soldiers, policemen and spies: "You are smart." "I cannot thank you enough for your kind words!" "The bosses are sorry, they haven't opened yet, otherwise, you are welcome to live here!" "Don't look, you must be reliable people!"

The attitude towards them is to please, deal with skillfully and be afraid of offending. Show Wang lifa's wit and tact.

(3) To Tang Tiezui and others: "You did a good job! Put on silk! " "But, I am crowded with people here. When there is a vacancy, I will keep it for you! "

I also laughed off the dislike of Tang Tiezui, which shows that Wang Lifa is good at dealing with the world.

2. Good at management and continuous improvement.

"okay?" "Yes, there is such a sentence!"

Reflect Wang Lifa's progress in speech.

"Detai in Xizhimen, ... all the doors are closed, only the Yutai is still open, ..."

"The big teahouses are closed, that is, you have the heart and can improve as appropriate!"

Through the mouth of He Chang, Wang Lifa is good at improvement and is a leader in the teahouse industry.

"Thank you this year!" "Is there any news of not calling?"

Summary: Wang Lifa is the shopkeeper of Yutai Teahouse and the character of the whole play. He inherited Yutai Teahouse from his father, and also inherited his philosophy of life, that is, say more good things and bow more. He is timid, selfish, intelligent, capable and sociable, and takes different attitudes towards different people. In the dark old China, although Wang Lifa was good at socializing, managing and constantly improving, he could not resist the oppression of various reactionary forces. He also has strong dissatisfaction with this, but he expressed it very implicitly. It is such a small businessman who is good at dealing with the world, but still can't escape the fate of bankruptcy. Wang Lifa's tragedy is a true portrayal of the life and fate of ordinary people in old China.

(3) Mr. Song.

1, "Have you seen my clothes? Am I still like a person? " "But in the Republic of China, I will be hungry!" "I'm hungry. I can't let the birds be hungry!"

It shows that Mr. Song is idle, lazy and incompetent and unwilling to support himself.

2. "When I saw your gray coats, I remembered the previous Qing Dynasty! I can't help but ask! " "You're right! Hey! Grandpa four, let's go! "

Show Mr. Song's timidity.

Still want to show the ocean? " "Don't move! The gentleman said: Give us half of the present ocean, and you two will be safe! We are one of our own! "

Song and Wu were greedy, overbearing and overbearing. Milk is a bitch.

Teahouse has created many distinctive characters. Wang Lifa is a character who runs through the whole play. He is smart, capable, cautious, wronged and sociable. In the play, he skillfully responded to the blackmail of the patrolman and patiently listened to Cui Jiufeng's story. As a businessman, he is also timid and selfish. For example, although he sympathized with the sufferings, the situation of Kang and the cry of sympathy for refugees, it was very limited. He has a strong dissatisfaction with society, but his expression is subtle. For example, when Tang Tiezui said "Thank you for this year", he said "This year is still worth thanking!" This sentence contains his sadness and resentment. Wang Lifa's tragedy is a true portrayal of the life and fate of ordinary people in old China. Grandpa Chang is a standard bearer, but he is dissatisfied with the corrupt Qing government and hates imperialism even more. He is upright, stubborn, enterprising, full of sense of justice and ready to help others. In the play, he was dissatisfied with catching his spy and sent pickles and chicken to Wang Li, who was worried. He has a strong sense of resistance and patriotism. Pockmarked Liu, this is a local ruffian, who makes money by abducting people through matchmaking. In the article, he talked with two deserters about business, but he was shot as a deserter before talking about his grades. This character image shows the morbidness and deformity of the society at that time.

The dramatic structure of Teahouse is very unique, and it is called "Tujuan Opera". There are no complete plot clues and conflicts throughout the work, but the activities of many characters drive the development of the plot. There are more than 30 characters in the second act of Teahouse, and nearly 20 people have lines, but these characters have no obvious distinction between primary and secondary, and everyone has few lines. They passed each other in the teahouse and talked about their own affairs. The activities of the characters in the play are all about intercepting a cross section of them in the teahouse. These countless pictures are organized to form a scroll painting, which gradually unfolds with the plot.

Teahouse adopts a special dramatic conflict. It seems that the characters in the play inevitably follow their own trajectory under the action of some external force. Honest and kind people can't get rid of bad luck, and those extremely active social scum follow their own moral standards. The author points the focus of contradiction directly to that old time, and every small conflict between characters implies the conflict between man and the old time. For example, Li San's accusation, the blackmail of patrol officers, the cries of refugees and the insolence of deserters all show the darkness caused by the warlord scuffle directed by imperialism and the profound disaster brought to the people.
