As a party whip, Underwood has real power in Congress, and its status in Congress is only after the Speaker. Although the name is imaginary, it is a very powerful position. But I didn't expect to be stabbed and lost the original appointment as Secretary of State when his party won the election. While Underwood was angry, he started a series of operations.
Underwood and his wife Claire were the first to play together. At first glance, I think Claire the ice beauty is simply the female version of Underwood, as cold and ruthless, as eager for power, and unscrupulous in order to achieve the goal. It is really like-minded to the extreme. But it turned out that the two people actually have different values. Underwood regards power as the foundation of everything else, and despises those superficial ideas that aim at money. His wife did not think so, otherwise she would not hesitate to reject Remy's 1.5 million US dollars, and of course she would not stab her husband behind her husband for the Sudanese goods.
The female reporter Zoe appeared on the stage with a rebellious attitude, and in the subsequent development of the plot proved that she was definitely not the naive little girl whose puberty had not yet ended. She is very aware of her position and how to exchange benefits, and boldly used her own advantages, whether it is physical or work, and put herself in a position that is basically equal to Underwood, achieving her goal. The purpose of climbing. In the latter part of the plot, it was the combination of Lucas and Janine that developed into a potentially huge threat to Underwood.
The weak-willed Peter and his beautiful girlfriend Christina are a very tragic bright line in the play. After Peter fell into Underwood's hand, the handle of the prostitute driving after drinking and cowardly chose to become a card with no bottom line in Underwood's hand. When he decided to close the shipyard, he also personally destroyed his hard-won political capital. A person who has nothing in the position of a member of the Diet is equivalent to having a vacant name but abandoning all martial arts. The final result can only be to be played with applause, and then ruthlessly abandoned after making full use of it. Poor Christina loves him sincerely, but she is disappointed again and again, and in the end she is also blinded by falsehoods.
The last thing to say is Doug, Underwood's right-hand man. Doug performed well in the play and deserved to be Underwood's right-hand man. But the character is not full enough. It is mentioned in the play that he had a bad habit of drinking before, but why was he so successful in giving up alcohol and so loyal to Underwood? In the play, when each character has his own clearer goals and plans, Doug is the only one who takes Underwood's best interests as his principle of doing things. Thinking of Claire's reluctance to be at the mercy of her husband, Doug's robotic loyalty would surely make the image of this important person more three-dimensional if it were better explained.
