Psycho

[-]. Partial plot analysis of "Mad Men"

(1) The reason for the murder in the dream

Freud said: "Dreams are the fulfillment of desires".Ye Zi's dream is like this, to make up for the shortcomings of life, to kill those who insult him and hinder him, to get the love of the rabbit, and there is also a faint sense of revenge.

The first person the rabbit killed, in the dream, was the one who insulted Ye Zi's mother.In fact, this person sexually harassed Ye Zi when he was 13 years old.It's normal for him to want to kill this person, but why would he transfer this person's crimes to his mother?That's because he complained to his mother in his heart: this man was found by his mother; he was obviously bullied, but he couldn't seek help from his mother;

Jiang Wei.The reason for wanting to kill this woman is very simple, because she is the fuse that destroys the feelings of Ye Zi's parents;

Nie Haixia.This woman is the key. In reality, she once confessed to Ye Zi and dated for a while.Later she became Ye Chengxi's girlfriend, Ye Chengxi even chose her and abandoned Ye Zi.That's why Ye Zi would strongly hope that Ye Chengxi would kill this woman in his dream.In the process of killing her, even in a dream, Ye Zi was happy (see Chapter 13, "In some moments, he also felt joy and happiness.");

Old lady, in reality, she exposed the relationship between the two of them, and since then Ye Zi and Ye Chengxi have separated.Ye Zi hated her;

Ye Zi's boss, Zhang Tao.This man scolded Ye Zi in reality, and even forced him to go to a hotel.In reality, Ye Zi called Ye Chengxi, hoping that Ye Chengxi would come to save him.But he didn't come.So in the dream, the rabbit killed Zhang Tao with his own hands;

Seeing this, you can find that there is a phenomenon of "misplacement" in Ye Zi's dream.For example, it was the mother who was suffering from bowel cancer, but she became the father in the dream; Ye Chengxi was the one who chose wealth and the future, but she became himself in the dream.why?In fact, both of these are caused by his subconscious "revenge mentality".

(2) The resurrection of the dead?

In Ye Zi's dream, there was such a plot. Jiang Wei, the old woman, and Nie Haixia who were obviously dead suddenly appeared, alarming Ye Zi. Why?

In fact, this "resurrection of the dead" is a reminder of Ye Zi's rational thinking. Such an abrupt image appearing in his complete dream is to remind him: his so-called killing is just a dream, just a delusion.

Similar to Ye Zi's dream within a dream.For example, dreaming of real ward scenes, dreaming of countless rabbits, etc., these are reminders and warnings of rational thinking.

(3) symbol

There are actually many symbolic meanings.For example, in the poem at the beginning of the article, the screen names of Ye Zi and Rabbit, the symbolic meaning of rabbit.

Let me talk about the screen name first, Ye Zi's name is "Predator", which means the hunter; and the rabbit is the prey.This point is directly related to the final hunt in Chapter 30.This is Ye Zi's wish, he hopes to become a hunter, instead of being chased desperately with nothing like in reality.

Then talk about the symbolic meaning of "rabbit".The rabbit is regarded as a token of two people, representing the feelings of two people.Ye Chengxi used to wear a mask to curry favor with Ye Zi. After the two got together, Ye Chengxi drew rabbit cartoons for him, bought rabbit balloons, etc.At this time, the rabbit symbolizes the sweet relationship between two people.But later, even though Ye Zi confessed to Ye Chengxi wearing a rabbit coat, Ye Chengxi didn't accept him and ran away.The image of the rabbit is distorted at this time.Symbolizes unrequited affection, twisted love.Remember when Ye Zi dreamed about big and small rabbits?Kneeling, crying rabbit.In fact, the real crying rabbit was not Ye Chengxi, but himself.

(4) How many such dreams did Ye Zi have?Do rabbits exist?What is the difference between him and Ye Chengxi?

How many have been made, who knows.However, he has been dreaming on and off for ten years.From the day he was chased by Ye Chengxi with a knife, he has been living in a dream;

Do rabbits exist?In the beginning, the rabbit didn't exist, he was just an image in a dream based on Ye Chengxi.But later it was different.Ye Zi is a person who lives in dreams. The rabbit keeps appearing in his dreams, fulfilling his wishes, accompanying and protecting him, and experiencing the past and the future with him. The rabbit is no longer just a phantom.In fact, the rabbit is already an individual with thinking and emotion that only appears in Ye Zi's dream.It means that the big frame in the dream is controlled by Ye Zi's thinking, just like what we call "fate", while the rabbit still has the freedom of action, and his emotions are not fake.His paranoia, his fanatical love, and his tenderness are all true.Maybe [-]% of this is Ye Zi's hope, but [-]% is his own;

What is the difference between him and Ye Chengxi?Ye Chengxi is a mature, realistic person who will weigh the pros and cons and know what is right and what is wrong.For example, he will choose his future, choose to marry a woman, choose to abandon Ye Zi, etc.In fact, what he did was not wrong.Think about it, in the real world, would a younger brother abandon everything just to be with his elder brother?Not to mention the same sex, they are still brothers. In order to be together, the future of the family will be lost. I think most people will choose to let go temporarily.And he has feelings for Ye Zi, otherwise he wouldn't have been waiting for him; and the rabbit exists entirely for Ye Zi.In the poem he once recited, he said, "Because of the power of a name, I was born again. I was born to know you and call out your name."His love is the purest and ideal.Compared with the real Ye Chengxi, his image is much younger and gentler, which is mainly related to Ye Zi himself.After all, Ye Zi has spent the past ten years dreaming, and Ye Chengxi is still in his heart at around 17 to 20 years old.

(5) Can't be together even in a dream

If you are careful, you may have discovered that no matter which dream, it will always end on February 2st (Ye Zi’s birthday).Of course, there are accidents, for example, this 1-chapter dream ended on November 30.Rabbit said at the time that he thought it would end on February 11, why?

Because in reality, Ye Chengxi held a knife on February 2st and wanted to stab Ye Zi to death.On this day, Ye Zi completely went crazy.This time the wound cannot heal.As a result, no matter which dream, it will end in tragedy on this day.Like fate, it cannot be changed.

(6) The relevant outcome

This ending is semi-open, but not as open as Nibble.I think the ending of this one might be sweeter.

I would say, my preferred ending.If you have different ideas from mine, don't be limited by me. After all, this is considered semi-open, and there are still other options.For example, the open window has many meanings, Ye Zi may have just left, or may still be somewhere, just opened the window casually.

My preferred ending is:

Ye Zi rejected Ye Chengxi and chose the rabbit in his dream.For rabbits, this is a kind of surprise and happiness.After all, he is just an incomplete copy of Ye Chengxi.But if Ye Zi wanted to be with him forever and stop killing each other with him, no matter dream or reality, they would not be able to satisfy them.Because dreams are doomed to tragedy, but reality is a world without rabbits.

They have spent enough time in the dream, have seen a lot of beautiful scenery, it is enough, so they choose to die - in the dream, go to the deep sea together, sink to the bottom of the sea.

In reality, Ye Zi jumped off the building after Ye Chengxi left.

So the last scene of holding hands and walking towards the deep sea is probably Ye Zi's dream in the last tens of seconds of his life.

In his world, there is no such thing as truth and falsehood.As he said, the only difference between real and fake is whether you believe it or not.

So for him and the rabbit, they are indeed together.

Second, postscript

Where did the inspiration for this article come from?First of all, of course, because I am infatuated with Bingjiao.I’ve forgotten how I fell in love with it, I just think it’s so cute, so cute (mud), I’ve listened to some dramas about it, and I’ve read anime, manga, etc., it’s so cute every time ; Then one day when I was browsing Douban (seemingly), when I was looking at the method of killing, I suddenly saw the words "exchanging killings". I thought it was quite interesting, so I looked at how to implement it.My feeling is: cute; I saw Toshiko Hirata's "Rabbit" later, this poem surprised me, and I wanted to describe the chasing scene no matter what; the most important thing was to watch a movie one day, "Mu Holland Road.Many people said that they couldn't understand it, and many people said that this movie is just pretending.But I really think it is very classic and shocking. It gave me inspiration in my dreams. I recommend everyone to watch it.The only shortcoming of this movie is that it is not emotionally touching enough.That's why, when writing this article, I will spend a lot of time writing the emotional scene between Ye Zi and the rabbit.

Regarding the development of this article, it feels really natural.The first time I wrote an outline, it didn't seem to take long, and it was finished quickly.As for the ending of this article, it is constantly evolving.The ending now is completely different from what I first thought.

When I first thought about this ending, I was really excited.I was so excited to run laps, I couldn't sleep, it was all nonsense.It's true.Its development has also been carried out in my head countless times, so sometimes even if I haven’t written it for many days, even if the plot is not mentioned in the outline, I write it quite smoothly, and I feel that the plot has already lived in my head up.

In this article, my favorite character is Ye Zi.He is a very real and complete person. He is so persistent in love that he becomes an obsession, and he loves to live in a dream. He is filial and strong, but at the same time, he is inferior, cowardly, negative, crazy, and fragile.He has love, hate, tender moments, and ruthless moments.Obviously he is indecisive, but at the critical moment, he is decisive.For example, his choice in the end.Once I think that all he did was just to be chosen and to be loved, I feel very sorry for him><Of course, I also like rabbits.To be loved like a rabbit, although most people may not be able to bear it, but his kind of love is exactly what Ye Zi, who lacks love, needs.

Accidentally said so much nonsense again, well, it's finally over, Sahua. [The full text and complete TXT document, I will upload it to my microdisk in two days.My Sina Weibo name is "Little Yaozi's Nest". 】

What kind of articles will I write in the future, this is really unclear.There are three items that need to be filled in the column. The Abyss, The Monster, and MyBelovedVampire.The first two articles are still uncertain, because there is no outline, it is just a little immature idea.So even if you really start writing, let alone the content, maybe the name will change... Just like this article, I feel like I suddenly had an urge to write it one day--as for the vampire fanfiction, I just want to write it. It can be said that the fate of this article is ill-fated, and the fact that the article is locked is quite shocking, and I am not sure whether I will continue to write it.

I'm really busy at the end of this year, so I will probably write new articles and fill in the pits, and it will be next year ORZ, don't forget me TT

By the way, there is one more thing, about the books of "Erosion" and "Madman", I actually really want to get it.I just don't have time this year.Hope to do this next year~~

Well, it's time to sleep, that's all for now.

Thank you for the mines and grenades thrown by Sanqian Mochen, the grenades thrown by Liang Qiuxiu Qingluan, the landmines thrown by Junyan, and the 3 mines thrown by Lost Universe. Thank you to all of you who have thrown mines and left messages, love you , see you later >
