Zhou Ping, the hero of Zhou family, and the eldest son of Shi Ping, "Zhou Ping" is a duckweed parasitic on the surface of Zhou family pool. He is a contradictory person. He has a reverence for his father and dare not go against his words. He feels depressed at Zhou's house and has feelings for his stepmother. However, the appearance of Sifeng made him feel angry and youthful-this is what he longed for. He longed for the simplicity and vitality of Sifeng, but he was afraid to face Fan Yi. He wanted to escape this problem and left Zhou Jia with Sifeng. He was as timid as a mouse, wandering around like a duckweed, and finally faced with the cruel reality, he chose to escape completely-ending his own life, which was the only way to free himself. This tragic way is also in line with the character. )

Fan Yi

Yi Fan is the most distinctive and distinctive figure in Thunderstorm. Zhoujia is a stagnant pool, which has caused ripples on this stagnant water. This wave of ripples made duckweed lose its foothold. She dares to love and hate, strive for independence and freedom, and challenge that morbid era. However, she is just a ripple, which cannot change the "stagnant water" and is not contained by the "stagnant water".

She is a new female representative who pursues women's liberation and strives for independence and freedom since the May 4th Movement. She dares to love and hate, fearing that the Zhou family doesn't care. However, her resistance to the old system was manifested in a deformed way. Under heavy pressure, she often feels helpless, inferior and even self-abuse, which is Fan Yi's weakness. As the author said, she fell into "a cruel well". She can't stand the vulgar and monotonous life of the Zhou family, tired of this gloomy atmosphere and suffering from spiritual bondage. She asked to get rid of all this, and finally went to abnormal development in an irresistible environment: love turned into hate, stubbornness turned into madness.

Zhou Puyuan

Zhou Puyuan: 55 years old, chairman of a mining company. When I was young, I had a maid lover, Mei Shiping, who abandoned her under family pressure and married another woman.

The "supreme ruler" of Zhou Mansion is an entrepreneur who calls the wind and calls the rain in Thunderstorm. The cause of Thunderstorm can also be said to be the resistance struggle under his oppression. "Park Garden", a quiet and simple home, is his ideal Zhou Jia. He thinks Zhou Jia is like this, because he doesn't have the warmth of family. He suppressed everyone in a stagnant home and used "quiet and simple" to cover up the cold depression.

Zhou Puyuan is the central figure in the play. He is a new capitalist, with both bourgeois ideas of freedom and equality and feudal autocracy. He was 55 when he appeared. 65438+ Studying abroad in the 1980s and 1990s. The rich and powerful young lady made Zhou Puyuan consciously erase his memory, and even had some hostility towards him, which made him give up Shi Ping, give up the confrontation with society, and then embarked on the road of submission.

His personality characteristics are mainly manifested through his relationship with two female images, Shi Ping and Fan Yi, and with Lu Dahai. He is a man with a deep heart, and he has one side that all capitalists in society had at that time: insidious, cunning and hypocritical. From Lu Dahai's accusations against him, we can clearly understand that for his own benefit, he will do whatever it takes, even at the expense of others' lives.

In Zhou Puyuan's mind, right, reputation and order are the most important things. He will only use money to appease Shi Ping, and his psychology has become indifferent and emotional distortion. In the preface and conclusion, The Old Man shows the return of Zhou Puyuan's nature. He couldn't see the tenacity of his character, and his eyes were calm and worried. He thought his only son died in despair and stared at the fire.

Sifeng

Lu Sifeng: 18 years old, the only daughter with Shi Ping and the half-sister with Lu Dahai, fell in love with Zhou and got pregnant without knowing it.

She is the heroine of Thunderstorm, and the "four phoenixes" are like the phoenix. Her innocence and youthful vitality brought warmth and hope to Zhou Ping. Her lover weaved a warm and beautiful dream for her, and at the same time gave her a promise that could never be realized, so that she could live in a happy fantasy. Her innocence, her simplicity and her beautiful dreams were all shattered on that thunderstorm night. She paid the price of love. Fate makes them meet, and fate makes them farewell. Like a phoenix, it burns vigorously and eventually becomes disillusioned.

Is the worst victim of the whole play. They are both pure and clear, so they yearn for sweet love and are full of enthusiasm for the future. Their bright eyes can't see the stormy waves hidden in the dark, but only outline the outline of happiness. When her innocence was shocked outside the wall in the face of cruel reality, the old clock had already rung. Sifeng fell in love with his drought-striken fields, but was involved in a storm. She was a young and energetic person, but a series of blows made her fate bumpy and difficult, and eventually she was electrocuted.

Zhou Chong

Zhou Chong: 17 years old, the only son of Zhou Puyuan and Fan Yi, a student, likes thinking about the wind.

Zhou Chong is a young man who grew up under the influence of new ideas and new culture. He is naturally full of fantasy and romance. However, he had no toughness and had insufficient stubborn understanding of the feudal system. Zhou Chong is probably the most naive character in Thunderstorm. He is as lively as his name. He is as pure and clear as Sifeng. It seems that he is just a child, without the maturity of his drought-striken fields and the sin of Zhou Puyuan. He has some ideas that he should have at his age, simple and honest, full of enthusiasm and fantasy for the future. At the end of the story, he rushed out to save Sifeng without hesitation, but he was electrocuted.

Lu Dahai

Lu Dahai: 27-year-old, the second son of Zhou Puyuan and Shi Ping, lives with his mother, who is a worker of a mining company and a leader of the labor movement.

The sea in Shandong is also a vigorous thunderstorm. He has thoughts and actions, which is in sharp contrast with his stepfather (Gui Lu). He hates that the bourgeoisie is as magnificent as the sea and as straightforward as the sea. Brockovich hates capitalists, so he will face Zhou Puyuan squarely, count all his sins and speak frankly. We can also read his sense of justice from his words. The working class he represents will be the vanguard of the proletarian revolution in China. They are thunderstorms and lightning, which will destroy the dark and fading old system. And fought resolutely against Zhou Puyuan, showing his spirit of resistance.

Lu Shiping

Lu Shiping: A 47-year-old maid, originally surnamed Mei, is her old lover. More than 30 years ago, she and Zhou Puyuan gave birth to Zhou Ping. The next year, she gave birth to Lu Dahai. Three days later, she was kicked out by the Zhou family and jumped into the river to be rescued. She married Zhou's servant and gave birth to her daughter Sifeng.

Sifeng's mother is Shi Ping, a silent and strong woman. She was the lowest and most ordinary woman in that era, silently enduring a difficult fate. Fan Yi said that her name was "Little Girl", and her own maid of the Zhou family was doomed to be inseparable from the Zhou family for the rest of her life. She has been waiting on the Zhou family from herself to her daughter.

Although she was in a difficult situation, she went through the most difficult period of her life with a strong personality. She is a tenacious woman. As a lower class woman in the old society, Shi Ping's life has always been divided into two parts: half belongs to her husband; Half of them belong to children. She hopes to get the love and understanding of others in her silent and selfless dedication, so as to confirm the value of her existence.

Gui Lu

Gui Lu: 48 years old, Zhou's servant, Shi Ping's husband and Sifeng's biological father.

Gui Lu is an ordinary nobody in the bourgeoisie. He is greedy for money, and he wants his daughter to find a rich man's treacherous face, which is beyond doubt in his words.
