The whole play unfolds with the old theme - the hypocrisy and emptiness of the rich. Therefore, the audience of the whole drama is "appreciating" the drama, looking forward to the drama, and wishing that the mask of hypocrisy and bullying could be more thoroughly removed. During this process, the people at the center of the power of money control everyone's joys and sorrows. Only a few "marginal people" have awakened, like the youngest son in the family, but most "marginal people" have chosen to move closer to the center , attached to the center, such as the daughter's friend, and the wife of the rich second generation.
In fact, in the whole play, the rich second-generation wife Rachel is the character that can be best portrayed, but the portrayal of Rachel's entire character in the play is the most unsuccessful. As a "common man" who breaks class barriers, whether it is character characterization, self-consciousness awakening, or the final compromise, it is all a conflict of formalism, with abrupt turns and no details at all. The actor also turned his suspicions about the marriage of a wealthy family into exaggerated trembling and endless crying. In the end, the actor only knew that he was staring at two eyes that were not even the slightest expression, and even had difficulty focusing, and seemed to be independent and conscious. Awakening is a cry of self-pity. Maybe this is really crooked, the incompetence of the actor shows that in fact, the character itself is an empty head, only imagining, embracing fantasy, and a mere sloppy grassroots. And to be honest, what is going on with the actress's mouth? It's like making people feel like they're leaking after knocking out all their teeth with one punch. It's extremely uncomfortable for people to look at.
The role of hotel manager is the most exhilarating and comfortable. At first, he built the depression brought by life and work into the spiritual fortress he built. As the fortress was broken bit by bit under the barbaric capital offensive, he also indulged himself bit by bit. He seems to be a money-dependent, and even once became a lackey of capital, oppressing his peers. However, at the moment when a female employee gave birth in his manager's office, the fortress in his heart was broken for the first time, and he realized that There is no difference between himself and those indifferent rich people, so he becomes a "rebel", rebelling against his own choices, and rebellious and hypocritical pandering.
And those self-proclaimed "rebels", such as the daughters of the family, are just "strong men" who seek a sense of presence and superiority among disadvantaged groups. These pseudo-rebels have never felt the joys and sorrows of others, but the joys and sorrows of being under their control.
