Abstrak

Minor characters usually refer to characters in novels with ordinary character settings and no background. This paper takes the specific writing of minor nobodies in Rickshaw Boy as the object of study. In terms of character categorization, the gender of minor nobodies is used as a criterion to make a simple distinction, and then the characters’ personality traits are analyzed in detail. Through character analysis, it is found that the number of female nobodies is relatively small, and the types of roles are relatively single, and among them, there is more emphasis on the role of disenfranchised women, which shows the tragic situation of women who lost their human rights at that time under the social environment. The role of male nobodies is more complex and three-dimensional, with both writing in individual roles and in group image, and the significance of writing is not confined to the role portrayal and the metaphor behind it, but also plays a role in promoting the development of the plot.
