Below I will briefly introduce the intricate chain of character relationships in this play (one is the Roman nobleman with Atia as the main line; the other is the Roman commoner with Urenas as the main line), so that everyone can have a new understanding of this American drama (high energy ahead, please pay attention to the !!! ）：
There are two small suspense in this play: First, who was the little Caesar born to Cleopatra? Second, who is the father of Octavia's daughter? We'll find out later!
Main line one: Atiya
Atiya character relationship line
From the above relationship chain, you should be able to see the complex character relationship here. (Note: the red line indicates that the two have a sexual relationship; the green line indicates that the two are related by blood or friends)
Main character one: Atia
Atia is one of the main nodes that run through the American drama "Roma", first, in terms of blood relations, Octavian, who later ruled the whole of Rome, is her son; Octavia is her daughter, and the two are also love enemies; Caesar is her uncle; secondly, in terms of sexual relations, attica, who lost her husband in his early years, uses his subordinate Timon as a tool of her sexual desire; Caesar's cousin Antony is a lover of Atia. The strange triangular relationship between Atiya, Octavia, and Anthony is a major attraction of the show.
Atiya
Atiyah's seemingly simple chain of character relationships on the surface has almost all of the characters in the entire play. The character of Atia can be said to be an important representative of Roman women, who are so yearning for love and so inflammatory for those who have power, and women who are domineering and fierce on the surface are extremely fragile at heart.
Main character two: Octavian
In this play, Octavian gradually grew from a young and ignorant teenager to a greedy, sinister, and treacherous dictator of the Roman Empire, and his growth was inseparable from the "edification" of his family and the outside world. Octavian's mother, Atia, who was only a teenager, witnessed his mother having sex with several men, and Attila's various coercive demands on Octavian may have been one of the important reasons for Octavian's barbaric growth; Octavian's sister Octavian, under the charm of her lover Severia, seduced her young brother Octavian to steal sex with herself, and has been buried deeply in her heart ever since; on the other hand, her mother's lover Anthony and uncle Caesar also had an important influence on Octavian's growth.
Octavian
From Caesar's death to the defeat of Brutus, the defeat of Antony and octavian's ascension to the throne; on the surface he seems to have everything, he has Rome, his mother Atia, his sister Octavia, his wife Livia and the support of the people, but how many people behind this will really submit to him?
Main character three: Anthony
Antony was Caesar's cousin, Caesar's niece Atia's lover; Atia's daughter Octavia's husband; Caesar's lover Cleopatra's lover. In the play, anthony, Caesar, Cleopatra and Anthony, Atia, Octavia, the two triangular relationships with Anthony as the node are worth seeing. At the same time, the role of Antony is also an important node in the play to connect the Roman nobles and Roman commoners.
Anthony and Cleopatra
Main character four: Octavia
Octavia's emotional relationship chain in this play is also one of the more complicated ones: Octavia, Atia, Anthony; Octavia, Octavian, Agrippa, Anthony - a triangular and four-corner relationship, of which Octavia and Octavian are not only superficial siblings, the two are also hidden lovers.
Atia and Octavia
Octavia leads to the first suspense of the play - who was Octavia's daughter born to? Anthony? Or Agrippa? In fact, the end of the play did not give a conclusion, but according to the editor's guess, Agrippa is more likely, after all, true love produces results!
Main line two: Urenas
Urinas character relationship chain
This chain of relations with Urenas as the main line represents the commoner class, and at the same time, it is connected with the Roman nobility with Urenas as a node. (Note: the red line indicates that the two have a sexual relationship; the green line indicates that the two are related by blood or friends)
Main character one: Urenas
A brave, pure, ordinary Roman officer with a noble plot. However, after experiencing the betrayal of his wife Neoby in turn, and he was the last to know; the suicide of his wife; the betrayal of his daughter Wojanna, Urenas gradually changed, he no longer believed, everything was false; he began to become bloody and vicious. In this play, the four-corner relationship between Urenas, Neobi, sister Letty, and brother-in-law Imad is also a refresh for the three views of the editor.
Urenas and Polo
In this play, Urenas' love line and brother line are an important contrast; although Urenas was betrayed in love and experienced green; but Urenas met the good brother Polo, the good boss Antony, both of whom gave Urenus great help in all aspects. Sometimes, brothers are the real love, oh, women, gods and horses are not!
Main character two: Polo
An ordinary Roman soldier, however, accidentally met Octavian and became Octavian's teacher; Polo is probably the luckiest person in the play, silly and foolish. Polo's wives, Irena, Polo, and Momio, will also stage a blood-spurting battle, but in the end, Only Polo is left.
Polo
In addition, Polo also had a one-night stand with Cleopatra; this leads to the second biggest suspense of the play: Who was Cleopatra born to? Caesar? Or Polo? The play also did not give a conclusion, but at the end of the play, Polo and little Caesar lived together, I think it should be Borneo's birth, stupid people have foolish luck!
Overall, this is still a very good American drama, whether it is the plot, character shaping or the large-scale picture inside, friends who like the heavy taste of American dramas must not miss It!
