1. Analysis of some plots of "Madman"

(1) The reason for the murder in the dream

Freud said: "Dreams are the satisfaction of desire." Ye Zi's dream is like this, making up for the shortcomings of life, killing and insulting him, hindering him, getting the love of rabbits, and having a faint revenge mentality.

The first person killed by the rabbit was the one who insulted Ye Zi's mother in a dream. In fact, this person sexually/harassed Ye Zi when he was 13 years old. It is normal for him to kill this person, but why did he transfer his crime to his mother? That's because he complained to his mother in his heart: this man was found by his mother; he was obviously bullied, but he could not seek his mother's help;

Jiang Wei. The reason why she wanted to kill this woman was very simple, because she was the guide/fire/score that destroyed Ye Zi’s parents’ emotions;

Nie Haixia. This woman is the key. In reality, she confessed to Ye Zi and dated for a while. Later, she became Ye Chengxi's girlfriend, and Ye Chengxi even chose her and abandoned Ye Zi. So Ye Zi would strongly hope that Ye Chengxi would kill this woman with his own hands. In the process of killing her, even in the dream, Ye Zi was happy (see Chapter 13, "In some moments, he also felt pleasure and pleasure.");

The old woman, in reality, she exposed the relationship between the two, and since then Ye Zi and Ye Chengxi have separated. Ye Zi hates her;

Ye Zi’s boss, Zhang Tao. This man scolded Ye Zi in reality and forced him to go to a hotel. In reality, Ye Zi called Ye Chengxi, hoping that Ye Chengxi would come to save him. But he did not come. So in the dream, the rabbit killed Zhang Tao with his own hands;

When you see this, you can find that Ye Zi’s dream has a “misplacement” phenomenon. For example, the mother who is obviously suffering from intestinal cancer is his mother, but she becomes a father in the dream; the one who chooses wealth and future is Ye Chengxi, but she becomes himself in the dream. Why? In fact, both of these are both of them that are causing trouble for his subconscious “revenge mentality”.

(2) The dead are resurrected?

There is such a plot in Ye Zi's dream. Jiang Wei, the old woman, Nie Haixia, who was obviously dead, suddenly appeared, alarming Ye Zi, why?

In fact, this "resurrection of the dead" is a reminder of Ye Zi's rational thinking. Such a sudden image appears in his complete dream to remind him: his so-called murder is just a dream, just a delusion.

Similarly, there is Ye Zi's dream in the dream. For example, dreaming of real ward scenes, dreaming of countless rabbits, etc. These are reminders and warnings of rational thinking.

(3) Symbol

There are actually many symbolic meanings. For example, the poem at the beginning of the article, the net name of Ye Zi and Rabbit, and the symbolic meaning of Rabbit.

Let’s talk about the online name first. Ye Zi’s name is “Predator”, which means the hunter; and rabbits are prey. This is directly related to the final pursuit in Chapter 30. This is Ye Zi’s wish. He hopes to become a hunter, rather than being chased in despair like reality.

Then I said the symbolic meaning of "rabbit". The rabbit is regarded as the token of two people, representing the relationship between the two. Ye Chengxi once wore a mask to please Ye Zi. After the two were together, Ye Chengxi also drew rabbit cartoons for him, bought rabbit balloons, etc. At this time, the rabbit symbolized the sweet relationship between the two. But later, even if Ye Zi was wearing a rabbit coat to confess to Ye Chengxi, Ye Chengxi did not accept him and ran away. The image of the rabbit was distorted at this time. It symbolized the emotion without reward and the twisted love. Do you remember that Ye Zi once dreamed of rabbits of all sizes? The kneeling and crying rabbit. In fact, the rabbit who was actually crying was not Ye Chengxi, but himself.

(4) How many such dreams did Ye Zi have? Does the rabbit exist? The difference between him and Ye Chengxi is?

Who knows how many he did? But he had dreamed for ten years intermittently. From the day he was chased by Ye Chengxi with a knife, he had lived in his dream;

Does the rabbit exist? At first, the rabbit did not exist. He only took Ye Chengxi as the prototype and was an image in the dream. But later it was different. Ye Zi is a person living in the dream. The rabbit appears continuously in his dreams, satisfying his wishes, accompanying him, protecting him, and experiencing the past and future with him. The rabbit is no longer just a phantom. In fact, the rabbit is already an individual who only appears in Ye Zi's dream, with thinking and emotions. It means that the big framework in the dream is controlled by Ye Zi's thinking, just like what we call "destiny", and the rabbit still has the freedom to act, and his emotions are not false. His paranoia, his fanatical love, and his tenderness are all true. Perhaps 30% of it are what Ye Zi hopes, but 70% are his own;

The difference between him and Ye Chengxi is that Ye Chengxi is growing up. Real people will weigh the pros and cons and know which is right and which is wrong. For example, he will choose his future, choose to marry a woman, choose to abandon Ye Zi, etc. In fact, his approach is not wrong. Think about it, in the real world, will a younger brother abandon everything to be with his brother? I won’t say that same-sex is still brother, or brother, to be together, the future of the family will be lost. I think most people will choose to let go temporarily. And he has feelings for Ye Zi, otherwise he will not not.

Waiting for him, and the rabbit exists entirely for Ye Zi. The poem he once recited said, "I was reborn because of the power of a name. I was born to know you and shout your name." This is how he is. There is only Ye Zi in his world. His love is the purest and ideal. His image is younger and more gentle than the real Ye Chengxi, which is mainly related to Ye Zi himself. After all, Ye Zi has been dreaming for the past ten years, and Ye Chengxi is still around 17 to 20 years old.

(5) Even in dreams, I can't be together

You may have discovered that no matter which dream, it will end on February 1st (Ye Zi’s birthday). Of course, there are also surprises, such as this 30-chapter dream ended on November 22nd. The rabbit said at the time that he thought it would end on February 1st, why?

Because in reality, Ye Chengxi held a knife on February 1st and wanted to stab Ye Zi to death. On this day, Ye Zi went completely crazy. This time the wound cannot heal. As a result, no matter which dream, it will end on this day in the form of tragedy. Just like fate, it cannot be changed.

(6) Related Ending

This ending is semi-open, but not "Cannife". I think the ending of this article is probably sweeter.

I just said, I tend to end. If you think differently from me, don’t be restricted by me. After all, this is semi-open, and there are other options. For example, the open window has many meanings. Ye Zi may have just left, maybe he is still in some place, just opened the window casually.

My tendency to end is:

Ye Zi rejected Ye Chengxi and chose the rabbit in his dream. This is a surprise and happiness for the rabbit. After all, he is just a broken copy of Ye Chengxi. But if Ye Zi wants to be with him forever and no longer kills him, no matter whether it is dream or reality, it will not satisfy them. Because dreams are dreams that are destined to be tragedy, and reality is a world without rabbits.

They have spent enough time in their dreams and have seen many beautiful scenery, which is enough, so they choose to die - in their dreams, walk to the deep sea and sink to the bottom of the sea together.

In reality, Ye Zi jumped off the building after Ye Chengxi left.

So the last scene of holding hands and walking towards the deep sea is probably the dream that Ye Zi had in the last few dozen seconds of his life.

In his world, there is no so-called truth or falsehood. As he said, the only difference between truth and falsehood is just that he does not believe it.

So for him and the rabbit, they are indeed together.

2. Postscript

Where did the inspiration for this article come from? First of all, of course, it was because I was obsessed with Yan Jiao. I forgot how I fell in love with it. I just thought Yan Jiao was so cute and cute (Nigu). After listening to some Yan Jiao drama, I looked at Yan Jiao anime, comics, etc., and I was so cute every time. Then one day I went to Douban (it seemed to be) and when I was watching the killing method, I suddenly saw the word "exchange killing". I thought it was quite interesting, so I looked at how to implement it. The feeling was: Ke Meng; then I saw Ping again.

Tian Junzi's "Rabbit", this poem amazed me, and I wanted to describe the kind of chase scene no matter what. The most important thing is that one day I watched a movie, "Mulholland Road". Many people say that I can't understand it, and many people say that this movie is just a show of pretentiousness. But I really think it is very classic and shocking. It gave me inspiration in my dreams. I recommend everyone to watch it. The only shortcomings of this movie is that it is not touching enough in terms of emotions. This is why, when I write this article, I will spend a lot of time writing about the emotional scene between Ye Zi and Tu.

The development of this article really feels natural. It didn’t seem like it took me long to finish the outline for the first time. As for the ending of this article, it is constantly developing and changing. The current ending is completely different from what I thought at first.

The first time I thought about the ending now, I was really excited. I was so excited that I went to the circle and couldn't sleep. It was not nonsense. It was true. Its development has been carried out countless times in my mind, so sometimes even if I haven't written it for many days or even mentioned in the outline, I wrote it quite smoothly, and I felt that the plot was already in my mind.

In this article, my favorite character is Ye Zi. He is a very real and complete person. He is obsessed with love so much that he forms obsession with love, loves so much that he lives in a dream, is filial and strong, and at the same time, he is inferior, cowardly, negative, crazy, and fragile. He has love, hate, gentleness, and ruthlessness. He is obviously indecisive, but at critical moments, he is decisive. For example, his choice in the end. Once he thinks about everything he does, just to be chosen and get love, he feels very sorry for him. <
