Animal Rhapsody uses a variety of characters and settings to reflect people of different races and origins (species of animals), different genders (female and male), bright and dark contrasts (schools, public places and underground black markets) ; government and the underworld), the powerful and the weak, the strong and the weak (carnivores and herbivores) in their environment and position.
A dwarf female rabbit is a female representative who is disadvantaged in appearance, strength, class, etc. She will feel inferior to her appearance, just like a woman who is not beautiful in reality, she will also be discriminated against by other rabbits because of her ethnic origin (dwarf rabbit). And be excluded, can only be educated by parents since childhood, pay attention to danger and be cautious. In such an environment, if she wants to survive, she can only be independent and strong. Taking care of flowers and plants is like a kind of pity for herself and a kind of care for creatures who are rarely vulnerable to herself. She takes sex as her only value and goes to Wanting to maintain equality with men, thinking that in the process of making love, she is valuable and can be exchanged for love. Such behavior can be regarded as robbing the male resources of other women who bully her. She understands that she and the strong The gap between them, living in a seemingly submissive way, longing for the rescue of a man stronger than himself, with a slender appearance coupled with a sensitive heart, able to understand the fragile and lonely parts of people. But does the survival mode she chooses change her own fundamental weakness? No, and it is difficult.
The male wolf is a male representative with a strong power and a weak race. He is also the first to appear in the play. He is a character who thinks about his identity. Because he is a carnivore, he has been used to being viewed with colored glasses since he was a child, so he has always been Suppressing one's own strength and sexual desire, suppressing oneself, being constrained by social norms, possessing a strong morality, but suppressing does not mean that one's own instincts disappear, carnivores, as a metaphor for men, are used here as innate fighting and hunting characteristics In the dark, because of smelling the female breath, the overly repressed past forms a rebound, and produces huge desires. In reality, most of the mating of the two sexes is achieved by the insertion of the male penis into the other party, in essence It is full of the meaning of hunters and arrested people. The setting of carnivores here also reminds me of sexual assaults in society. It is the violence of the strong against the weak. The first time a male wolf and a female rabbit meet, almost Eating the female rabbit seems to be suppressing his appetite, but the connotation I think has two meanings of suppressing sexual desire and hunting, but the male wolf finally suppressed himself, and has been treating himself this way since then. The instinctive guilt is guilt about desire and guilt about morality. Later, in the running of the underground black market, I realized my "salivation" for female rabbits. This theme, and the male panda said: "Your love feeling is just a distorted animal desire." Echoing each other, so the love Generation, between the sexes, most of the time, is the generation of sexual desire, or the complex feelings that are covered by it. The emotional line between two people is also quite interesting. Many times male wolves cannot understand female rabbits. This is just like real men who can't understand women in many cases. From another perspective, they are people of different identities who understand another. It is indeed not easy for a person with a status position. As a male wolf, his admiration and liking for deer is also due to his admiration and appreciation for attractive men as a man who is not good at words and gentle and naive.
A male deer is a male representative who is in a weak position, but wants to use his own charm to gain power and discourse power. He has had the opportunity to be at the bottom of the class and used to be the live bait of the underground market. He has no name, only the code name 4. It seems that the act of protecting his companions in the cage is to resist the strong and protect the weak. He was adopted by a man with money and power, and he is a handsome young master with a class advantage. He is a herbivore. There is no need to be discriminated against by others, loved by women, and appreciated and envied by some men because of their status. But he is actually fragile and sensitive in his heart. As a man, he must show himself in front of others as a strong man in order to survive. He does not want others to see his tears and failures, and he has been living in panic and anxiety about carnivores. Under the patriarchal system, neither men nor women can live out their true self, women are imprisoned in the position of the weak, and men must live as strong men, even if you are an unambitious man, It is also impossible. Once men show their vulnerability, they will be discriminated against. Due to the oppression of women, such as the recent birth policy, women have no right to undertake social labor. Afraid of taking the risk of maternity leave and giving priority to men, men will get more opportunities and will only continue to bear everything that the strong should bear. In a state of depression, men will seek care from women, a group labeled with gentle qualities, so male deer will like obedient female rabbits. Although the male rabbit's initial plan is to choose to consolidate his strength and class women.
The female wolf is the representative of a woman with strong strength and a beautiful appearance as a female. As a carnivore, she is also discriminated against, bullied and suspected, and blamed for her eating the sheep. At the same time, she is ostracized by women, which is now called "female competition". After all, it is human nature to pursue the strong. However, what is interesting about this role is that she did not pursue the strongest deer. Attracted by male wolves, compared with the inferiority of male wolves for being carnivores, it shows that female wolves are extremely recognizing their own identity, make good use of their beauty advantages and personality, have the ambition to gain the right to speak, and want to be with male wolves. As a representative of carnivores, it wants to take the competitive position of male deer. After all, the "female competition", in the end, is only to obtain second-hand resources in the hands of men, and the absolute power does not really belong to oneself.
The continuation of the story, with the female rabbit being kidnapped by the lion group as a turning point. This is the latest "social beating" suffered by the male deer in the recent stage. He realized that the consolidation of power was originally at the expense of the weak. He gave up saving the female rabbit at first because he learned how to deal with The dark side of the rules is accustomed to, despite his good heart. Male wolves, on the other hand, are relatively simple, and can rely on their liking for female rabbits and what they think of as justice to risk their lives to rescue female rabbits. Although the later explanation is very interesting, the male wolf asked himself: "Why? If I think I save her, I can get her.” (Because of his hunting nature, and the nature of the hunted is to dedicate himself to the other party, just like a female rabbit can’t help but actively put her body into the other party’s body. , just like the relationship of insertion and insertion.) The subsequent appearance of the deer can be regarded as an act of expressing its adherence to its own beliefs. After rescuing the female rabbit, both the deer and the wolf wanted to give up their studies, which is a kind of disappointment with the education of the rules. The instinct should not be suppressed, but it needs to be used reasonably at the right time. The existence of the underground black market, It is also the rationality formed by the suppressed desire.
In this society, different people are inevitably imprisoned by stereotypes, unable to truly live out themselves, and we will never be able to understand each other until we truly think. Large-bodied species are considered savage, violent, and dangerous; males, are considered gritty and invulnerable; females are considered submissive and mindless; those in authority are considered absolutely righteous and bright, sexually lustful Considered ugly and in need of restraint, sexually open females are considered to be dirty and dirty, even though mating is just a human instinct. Many people live within the correct answer, and seldom think about whether the correct answer may be wrong, or has a complicated meaning behind it, not to mention looking at it from a broader perspective, the result can only be as it is now. Generally, everyone attacks each other, but cannot change the status quo. A person's view of things is inseparable from the influence of education. Education includes the ideas of people around him, cultural expressions, etc., but also the ability to think and accept different information. If the environment cannot be changed, then start from awakening. rise.
