Tiberius: There are two scenes that impressed me the most about Tiberius in the play: at the beginning of the play, a young Tiberius and his brother Claudius' father were wrestling with Tiberius on a break. His beloved brother confided: "Everyone says I'm evil by nature but you know I'm not born that way... I've been feeling more and more lately that there's a darkness inside of me that will one day completely swallow me up and only you can stop it. He" his brother sincerely consoled him, but it was a pity that he died soon after, and Tiberius gradually became the first tyrant in the book at the instigation of his evil mother. At the end of the play, Claudius announced his resignation. There was a brief auditory hallucination in the Senate when he was in power. In the play, the dead characters paid tribute to him in turn. As his uncle Tiberius, he said to Claudy in a rare caring manner: "They didn't treat you at the time. Say if it's worth it." This single husband, who has lived under the light of his stepfather and under the control of his mother for half his life, is actually a tragic figure whose fate has been manipulated and distorted.

Julia: The princess who has been falling all her life, always trying to catch something, but accelerated her fall. She has left her biological mother since she was a child. As a family member of the chief citizen, she cannot enjoy the privileges and freedoms of girls of the same age in the same class, but can only be the model eldest daughter of the family of the head of state, acting involuntarily under the manipulation of noble parents. Puppets and political chips. The first marriage became a symbol of the father's alliance with his successor, even though Agrippa was old enough to be his uncle.
