The story of five mortals and one god, each character is very representative, and its true mapping can also be found in the real society.
Pharaohs represent the superstructure in society, and often say "the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility", but human nature often believes that obligations and powers are equal, so they often think "since I have an obligation to protect human beings, Then I also have the right to dispose of them arbitrarily, as long as I consider the interests of the whole" attitude, when people don't take the responsibility but push all the so-called "capable" people, it is very easy to produce such results. Once the power of this kind of people is not restrained or tolerates dissent, it will become what we call a dictatorship, such as Hitler, Saddam, MAO, Stalin, etc.,
The joker represents the people who maintain the stability of the regime for the superstructure, just like the police, army, education department, intelligence department, propaganda department, etc. under a dictatorial government. They have served various rulers throughout their lives, and their actions have never questioned right and wrong. Right or wrong, just simply perform the tasks arranged by the upper level after blinding their own humanity. Because it knows so much about the dark side, the rulers will immediately kill it if they think there is a possibility of renegade.
Ye Xiao is most like the true portrayal of most people in our continent. He has many petty bourgeoisie hobbies and is full of enthusiasm for simple and repetitive life. Therefore, he is afraid of the great changes brought about by the truth and the obligations that he may have to undertake, so he will not. Deliberately to understand the truth, and once its rights are destroyed, its reaction is also the strongest and most irrational, but anger is often vented on people who are weaker than themselves, such as hearing the death of the previous generation Ye Xiaoxiao. Even Rorschach had to stop the beating of that gang member. . More vividly, Ye Xiao immediately chose to compromise when he believed that his rights would no longer be affected and that he would be held accountable.
Silk ghost is the role played by most women in society, and its emotions in the play are influenced by people who have close contact with them, such as dissatisfaction with Dr. Manhattan's "multitasking", and government agents. The resistance with discriminatory language, the response to Ye Xiao's expression of love, and the shock of knowing his father's identity. . As for the killing of the comedian, the arrest of Rorschach, and even the New York massacre, there was not much emotional fluctuation. The anger expressed to the pharaoh before preparing to "shoot" the pharaoh was more about him "killing" Dr. Manhattan of dissatisfaction. This is very representative of the value orientation of most women in reality. They don't think much about longer-term development and a more comprehensive world view, but they are relatively more sensitive to the people and things that happen to them.
