Let me share a few words here. Perhaps we can first get through this question whether the creation of the plot was before that of the characters or after. The more obvious one is that the plot was before the character. For example, the background of the isolated island, the violence of order, the activity of hunting, and something else have little to do with the characteristics of woman. To have the characters in accord with the plots, the author needed the characters to be masculine, energetic and adventurous. In summary, the author didn't come up with or intend to draw up a plot for the woman.
On the other hand, if the character came about first and provided that the author had tried to arrange for a female character to emerge, then he would have been bothered by the settlement of her. If he tried to ascribe the female character to be a cruel or at least to end up as a brutal character, symbolizing that woman was also a victim of the fragmented world or woman was also furious like man. If we cobble together all the potential meanings, the author may be labeled by the discrimination of woman. What's more, if man and woman are all hopeless, the world has to witness another loss of chastity and certainly the order and sensibility so that people may feel more of disappointment rather than simple shock and enlightenment . And the female character may have died for her chastity. But if women try to fight against a world dominated by power, they may be left in a dilemma unless it is a legendary tale that we have been writing. The sacrifice of the imagined woman character may have complicated the story, making its theme distracted and too broad to concentrate on one point.
In case one may propose that the process of character and plot can be accomplished together, I have to suggest that even till the end there has to be one of the two finished earlier. Whether it is when you added the last punctuation to the plot or it is when you fulfilled all your portraits of the characters, one has to be after the other.
Last but not least, I'd like to bring up a new way of exploration which takes into consideration the background of the second world war. As far as I am concerned, during that time the woman didn't step onto the battlefield but due to the lack of male workers, they took their place to work in the factories for production. So if the isolated island is a shadow of the war, everything is clear now because just as woman didn't appear in the war so didn't they on the island. This may be reasonable because the war is also a place for slaughter, a place of irrationality, and a place into which civilized spirit couldn't dig.
That's all, thank you. |
