Abstract:

According to the actantial model of narratology, the chief enemy of all kinds of factors which caused Dou E's tragedy was Tao Wu, prefecture chief of Chuzhou, who condemned death to Dou E.By stating Tao Wu's word that"One should pay for one's suit"instead of his act of accepting money, and by narrating Tao Wu's story of his partiality for Zhang Lv'er during a trial, The Injustice to Dou E typically employed a basic method of stereotype in facial makeup to present its ideological orientation.Therefore, it is not true to the work to argue that Tao Wu was an "honest and incorruptible but mediocre"government official, and that the primary reason of Dou E's wrong death was"the technical limitation of collecting evidence"or "the judge's limited knowledge".

Key words: enemy, actantial, object, opposite
