Abstract

The utilization of comparison between characters is very widespread in A Dream of Red Mansions.Take Ming Yan and Li Gui for example,each of them has its different disposition.From their family background,status,and influence on Jia Baoyu,as well as the relationship with him,we can see that Ming Yan’s status is not as high as Li Gui,but he is very intelligent,clever and lofty.So he gets Baoyu’s faith deeply and is regarded as one of his good friends.Though Li-Gui’s foundation of background is better than Ming Yan,he has a little villainy.He plays a role of admonishment and restriction to Baoyu actually,thus he can’t get the trust of Baoyu.Both of them have exerted vital influence on Baoyu’s image and disposition.
