The Macaque is a script play,with which the writer came up in front of a billboard,trying to sketch the life of a fictional modern emperor in the form of comedy.The story begins as the palace of the scenic spot,performed and inhabited by welcoming guests.The scenic spot required actors to play the role of the emperors,and various roles in the palace,while broadcasting the life of the palace to the public via television and Intemet.In this way,people acquired a chance to be elected an emperor in a highly entertaining modern life.In the Imperial Palace,the emperor who worked for many years was addicted to the act.Even when he was old,and supposed to retire,nontheless he was unwilling to descend from the throne.One day,it was discovered that the old actor,who was playing the emperor,was sick with madness.He thought he was a real emperor himself.The actor who plays the prince must persuade the emperor to take his place.At this moment,the prince was like a Ibsen-type intruder,and he decided to reveal the deception.The specific plot of the script is centered around the prince's "killing the father",which is divided into the following four ACTS:Stay to guard,Disinheritance,Boudoir repining,Encouraging learning.They correspond to four scenes:the emperor's bedroom,living room,garden,toilet.In contrast to the tragic plot,the prince's actions are doomed to fail,and the role of the prince is doomed to be anti-Ibsen.The play is full of parodies and jokes,the threat to the emperor was actually an increasingly human macaque,correspondingly,the people here are becoming more and more like monkeys in order to adapt to the life inside the palace.This thesis mainly analyzes the script from the following four aspects:naming,characters,narration and style.In the process of writing the screenplay,Pirandello's play Henry IV had a direct impact on the writer.Therefore,in order to get rid of the shadow of the former playwright,the writer made a play,which is also an attempt at com an attempt at comic style.The writer first went into the tradition of classical literature to find a way to name the play.Then the writer focuses on the mirroring game between roles,and discusses the narrative structure contrary to the traditional tragedy.Finally,with the help of the analysis of two fairy tale archetypes,the writer laid down the comedy form and abstract style of the script,and saved himself from the shadow of the elder playwright.
