The story is that the male protagonist is the only person in the whole play who thinks he is Macbeth (perhaps a bit absolute), and the blood (phantom) he sees is his desire, which he considers sinful, in this context, the female The behavior and language of his friend made him think that his girlfriend is the queen (the big brother is too involved in the drama and is too magical), when the main actor had an accident (only the female assistant knew the truth, others thought it was an accident), he brought in himself and his girlfriend, thinking that It was his girlfriend who did it, so he felt that his crown was covered in blood, and he didn't want to get Macbeth's ending (he thought his girlfriend committed suicide out of guilt, which means he was completely in the script), so he alienated his girlfriend. But what the girlfriend sees is that her boyfriend becomes more developed and then alienates him. Others will not care about the substitute (the girlfriend is still a substitute at this time), and bystanders will think that the male protagonist is a good person or even take care of him. The male protagonist wants to get rid of his guilt (he is normal after 19 months), but he went back to his old place to find God. ), his girlfriend is not a queen (people are normal, they have no desire to commit crimes, and they planned to break up with you before), the truth is completely different from what he thought! Then our only truth emperor, the female assistant, said the situation of the male protagonist after breaking the three views of the male protagonist: I am responsible for my actions (the full-time server is actually not a very good protagonist), you have to be responsible for the death of your girlfriend Responsible (although the female assistant should think that the male protagonist was busy with his career and neglected his girlfriend, causing his girlfriend to commit suicide). But the male protagonist knows that he is indeed responsible for this, how miserable. . . He's the only one who causes other people's death in the whole show, because of his misunderstanding, he treats himself as Macbeth like the audience (really! it's common). Presumably aiming to say don't over-model life and confuse art with life? But in fact, the male protagonist wants to get out of this Macbeth, but it is also a twist in the tragedy. I thought it was Farewell My Concubine, but it was actually Oedipus.
