hypocritical

We seem to see that he still has a deep nostalgia for Shi Ping, but this nostalgia can neither be completely hypocritical nor completely heartfelt. One factor in this memory is that Zhou Puyuan wanted to cover up the past to save his face.

He can remember the past on the premise that it does not pose a threat to his present position, reputation and interests. Once the past poses a direct real threat to his reputation and "the most perfect family", his ugly face under the mask of hypocrite will be exposed. With this "nostalgia", Zhou Puyuan's personality characteristics are not vague, but the hypocrisy is deepened through the comparison before and after.

relentless

Zhou Puyuan's personality is complicated, and several aspects of his personality are sometimes in a state of contradiction and opposition. On the surface, he was a feudal tyrant at home, and attached great importance to the "order" and his position at home. He is overbearing and self-centered. "His opinion is the law", and the scene of forcing Fan Yi to drink medicine is a typical example.

Expanding information He came into contact with bourgeois civilization earlier, studied in Germany, and even accepted the popular social thoughts at that time. Judging from his study abroad experience and later economic status, he should have developed into a typical bourgeois figure, but he has become a bourgeois figure with a strong feudal color.

On the surface, he is hypocritical, but in fact he is a very vicious and cunning hypocrite. He is morally corrupt. When I was young, I played with the maid Shi Ping and gave birth to two children with her. In order to marry a rich and powerful lady, I abandoned Shi Ping. When Shi Ping, who had been "dead" for many years, suddenly appeared in front of him, which might destroy the order of his extended family, he was both hard and soft, and his words and deeds were different, completely tearing off the disguise he was wearing, revealing a hypocritical, dirty and ugly soul.

In family life, he was a feudal tyrant. He attaches great importance to family order and his commanding position in the family. He is arbitrary and arbitrary, and his opinion is the law. In the famous scene of "drinking medicine", he portrayed his bossy character incisively and vividly.

Under the autocratic rule, the Zhou family is like a big coffin, a place that can suffocate people. This family is the product of the hybrid between the feudal class and the bourgeoisie, and has strong and strong feudal characteristics. What Zhou Puyuan tried to maintain was the order of the big feudal family.
