THE COMBINATION OF ACTORS EMOTION AND BEHAVIOR: TAKES THE PLAY "THUNDERSTORM" AS AN EXAMPLE

Abstract

The article’s aim to analyze the combination of actors emotion and behavior in the play Thunderstorm. This paper employs two methods, textual analysis and case analysis to support the research. The findings reveal that in the play "Thunderstorm," the portrayal of characters such as Zhou Puyuan, Lu Shiping, and Fan Yi demonstrates the resonance between suppressed emotions and rigid behaviors, as well as the intertwining of sorrowful anger and restrained actions, fully highlighting the importance of the integration of emotions and behaviors. The organic fusion of the two not only enhances the authenticity of the characters and the audience's empathy but also deepens the theme of the work. The actors achieve this integration through precise emotional control and well-designed behaviors, while also exploring its impact on character portrayal, audience empathy, and thematic expression. This provides theoretical references for stage performance practices.
