Exploration of Thunderstorm, a compulsory course of Chinese in senior two, said Ba Jin. Thunderstorm is a work that can be performed and read. ? The readability of Thunderstorm is of course due to its profound thoughts, ingenious conception, tortuous plot, sharp dramatic conflict, vivid characters and other factors, and more importantly, the subtext in its dialogue.
The so-called subtext is the real meaning hidden between the lines. This meaning is not written directly, but expressed through lines. As the saying goes? Listen to the sound, listen to the sound of gongs and drums, which means there is something in the words and subtext. The subtext shows the speaker's real intention and motivation. Often the same sentence, said by different people, or said by the same person on different occasions, may convey completely different meanings.
For example:
Zhou Puyuan Well, (thoughtfully) Wuxi is a good place.
Lu Shiping: Oh, nice place.
The two of them? Wuxi is a good place? But what Zhou Puyuan said reflects his attachment to the past and is the expression of true feelings; When Lu Shiping said this, he seemed to echo Zhou Puyuan, but in fact he was talking about your good place, but it was just my sadness and irony.
Another example is:
Oh, Lu Shiping. -Master, is everything all right?
Master Lu Shiping, is there nothing else? Looking at the park, tears will come out.
Lu Shiping said the same sentence twice. The first sentence is what she said when she first met Zhou Puyuan. Lu Shiping recognized Zhou Puyuan at a glance, but Zhou Puyuan didn't recognize Lu Shiping. When Lu Shiping said this, his inner thought was, Don't you recognize me? But Lu Shiping didn't want to leave as soon as they met, so she teased Zhou Puyuan to continue the conversation through this line.
The second sentence is that Lu Shiping accused Zhou Puyuan of abandoning her for 30 years, telling Zhou Puyuan that Mei Shiping is not only alive, but also here. Zhou Puyuan was indifferent and still didn't recognize Lu Shiping. At this time, Lu Shiping was excited. Don't you know me now? You really don't know me? Am I really too old to recognize you? Deep in my heart, I am full of resentment and despair about Zhou Puyuan. Lu Shiping said this sentence is intended to make a positive appearance, face to face with Zhou Puyuan, and see what kind of heart he is.
The above examples show that the analysis of subtext is very important for understanding the rich connotation of lines.
Although not every line in the play has subtext, rich subtext is an important feature of the drama language, especially excellent drama, which can leave the audience with room for understanding and aftertaste. Therefore, it is an important goal and the most important method for us to explore the subtext in the script language and understand its rich meaning.
Where are we for the subtext in Thunderstorm? Text interpretation? A detailed analysis is made in the book. Please take a closer look, and then sum up, what are the most basic ideas and methods to interpret subtext?
Exploring the Thinking of Thunderstorm, a compulsory Chinese course for senior two; Confucius said: Learning without thinking is useless, and thinking without learning is dangerous. ? The dog said the same thing: Think all day long, it is better to learn it in a moment; I've tasted it and I'm looking forward to it. Let's go hiking. ? It can be seen that learning and thinking must be combined, no matter which one is ignored. This inquiry is to make us think after learning Thunderstorm, and sum up some things about how to tap the regularity of the subtext of the script to guide our future study.
Here are five ideas for your reference:
First, it depends not only on what the characters say, but also on what they think.
Sometimes the characters in the play don't talk much, but through short language, we can find out the inner activities of the characters. For example, from the second act to? We want to repair her grave? This part of the content, Zhou Puyuan a * * * said six? Oh? Words.
Oh, you were in Wuxi thirty years ago?
Oh, it's too far. Everyone forgot to mention it
3 oh.
4 Oh? Tell me.
(5) (Pain) Oh!
6 (sweating like a pig) Oh.
In normal times, we may ignore the past about this kind of response, but through the understanding of the context, including the interpretation of the stage description, we can dig out the subtext and thoughts of the characters: ① the capitalist's casual questioning tone to the servant; (2) reminiscent of Zhou Puyuan, he lost in thought; ③ is a general reaction word; 4 is to express surprise with a question mark; ⑤ It is an involuntary modal word with exclamation mark when exposing a lie face to face; 6 is the embarrassment of having a guilty conscience. Short? Oh? Ci, with such rich meanings, vividly reveals Zhou Puyuan's psychological change process from carelessness to guilt and fear.
Zhou Puyuan: This man is our relative.
Lu Shiping: Relatives? ①
Zhou Puyuan: Well, we want to repair her grave.
Lu Shiping: Oh, that's not necessary. ②
Zhou Puyuan: What?
Lu Shiping: This man is still alive. ③
Reading this line, we can not only hear what Lu Shiping said verbally, but also what another Lu Shiping said in his heart: ① What relatives? That's hypocritical! (2) She didn't die. On a poor day, their mother and son were saved. She is standing in front of you now.
Second, it depends not only on whether the characters say so, but also on whether the characters think so.
In some cases, it is not convenient for the parties to make it clear. At this time, the subtext of a sentence and the superficial meaning of the lines may even be completely opposite.
Zhou Puyuan (gasping thoughtfully) Shi Ping, Shi Ping, that's right. It is said that the girl's body was buried by a poor man. Can you find out where her grave is?
Master Lu Shiping, why do you ask these things?
Zhou Puyuan cornered Miss Mei, which is obviously a matter of life and death. Why did Lu Shiping say yes? Nostalgia? Yo? Did you do less bad things in Zhou Puyuan? Miss May, this matter is just a piece of cake for you. Why are you pretending to be like that? Lu Shiping deliberately narrowed it down, and said it ironically, and made a bitter mockery and profound exposure of Zhou Puyuan.
Zhou Puyuan, you can calm down. Now that you and I are children, if you feel wronged, at this age, we don't have to cry for the first time.
Zhou Puyuan's line is, don't make trouble, make trouble and let your children know that you had such a disgraceful history when you were young. How embarrassing! On the surface, I thought of Lu Shiping, fearing that she would lose face. In fact, he was most afraid that Lu Shiping would make trouble and let Fan Yi, Zhou Ping, Zhou Chong and the servants know his background, so that he would be dignified and noble? Good people in society? His mask will be torn off, which is where his guilt lies. However, his thoughts can't be made clear.
Third, we should not only look at the characters' words, but also think about the unfinished words in the characters' hearts.
What is the most striking feature of subtext? Full of meaning between the lines? Puns are sometimes used in this case. Metaphor, symbol, metonymy and other rhetorical devices, but many times half a sentence is said and half a sentence is left, so we should pay special attention to analysis and try to figure out this half sentence.
Zhou Puyuan (standing up slowly) Oh, you, you, you are-
Who are you? What didn't come out later? Shi Ping? Two words. Zhou Puyuan couldn't believe that the old woman in front of her was Mei Shiping. She couldn't help but be sure that it was indeed Mei Shiping. This sentence vividly shows his hesitation and ambivalence towards Lu Shiping at that time.
Lu Shiping, you didn't take money to calculate my sufferings in these years.
Zhou Puyuan, but you-
Zhou Xiangyuan's Unfinished Line is quite rich in connotation: What is Zhou Puyuan trying to say? We can have a variety of guesses, ① from above? Does this make me feel a little more at ease? Infer:? But I can't stand you living so hard. ? 2 From below? Shi Ping, don't be too stubborn. If you don't accept this little money, will you regret it in the future? Infer:? But don't be too headstrong and stubborn. You are in such a difficult situation. You don't want the money now. I won't regret drinking northwest wind in the future. ? 3 From above? Is it to make up for my sins? Infer:? But you've gone too far and won't even give me this chance to atone?
Fourth, it depends not only on what character A says, but also on how character B answers.
Zhou Puyuan Thirty years ago, there was a famous thing in Wuxi-
Oh, Lu Shiping.
Zhou Puyuan, you know what?
Lu Shiping may remember, but I don't know which one the host said.
Zhou Puyuan asked? You know, Lu Shiping didn't answer? Maybe you know? , but replied? Maybe remember? . Why answer irrelevant questions? The subtext here is: I not only know the crimes you committed in those years, but I will never forget them in my heart.
A young lady from the Mei family in Zhou Puyuan is very virtuous. One night, I suddenly drowned. Later, later, you know?
Lu Shiping dare not say.
This line is funny. Talking about the past 30 years ago, Zhou Puyuan said? Nobody knows. Everyone has forgotten? , Lu Shiping repeatedly reminded? Maybe remember? ; Now Zhou Puyuan tells the story of 30 years ago and asks? Did you know that Lu Shiping was faking it? Dare not say. ? What's going on here? Let's look down ? I do know a young girl named Mei. ? After reading this, we understand that Lu Shiping, who has suffered so much, doesn't want to go to Yue Se with Zhou Puyuan. Now, as an outsider, she should look on coldly. Is this sad feeling true or false? How dark is his heart?
It depends not only on what the characters say here and now, but also on what the characters say here and now.
In other words, we should pay attention to the relationship between characters' words, which is a very important way for us to interpret the subtext of characters' dialogue.
Zhou Puyuan (suddenly sternly) What are you doing here?
Lu Shiping is not what I want to come.
Zhou Puyuan, who sent you?
Zhou Puyuan and Lu Shiping have just become friends. Why did they suddenly ask such two questions? At first glance, it is puzzling. But after reading the following, Zhou Puyuan said. Gui Lu seems to be a dishonest man. All right! Have fun! How much do you want now? ? It turned out that Zhou Puyuan was suspicious, and Lu Shiping was blackmailed by Gui Lu.
Lu Shiping: Oh, do you think I will cry to let him recognize his mother? I'm not that stupid. I understand his position and education, and I don't allow him to recognize such a mother. I have also learned well over the years. I just want to see if he is my child. Don't be afraid, he won't recognize me even if I ask him to bother for nothing.
Lu Shiping said? I've studied well over the years, too, okay? . What is the implication? I used to be stupid, okay? . So, what about Lu Shiping? Stupid? Where is it? What about now? Be a good boy? Where is it? This is related to what Lu Shiping said before:? This is a person with low self-esteem and is not very filial. I heard that she was a little innocent with the young master of Zhoufu at that time and gave birth to two sons. It was only three days after giving birth to the second child, and suddenly Master Zhou didn't want her. The boss put it in Zhou Mansion, and the newborn child held it in his arms and died in the river on New Year's Eve. ? This line shows that when Lu Shiping was young. Stupid? Are you online? No rules, no responsibilities? , delusion rely on Zhou Puyuan climbed up the status of a lady, the result was cornered. The harsh reality tells her that in this society, the gap between expensive and cheap, poor and rich is insurmountable. In the past, relying on Zhou Puyuan could not change your own destiny, and now it is impossible to benefit from your son. ? Have you learned your lesson? These three words reflect Lu Shiping's sober understanding of reality.
In a word, learning to appreciate and appreciate the implied words with rich meanings in the script characters' lines is of great benefit to understanding the language of drama characters, grasping the images of drama characters and improving our artistic appreciation ability.
