It's easy to describe characters, but it's difficult to create unique characters Generally speaking, the character of the novel is displayed through the choice in the face of pressure There is no doubt that Ivanov, the Russian captain in razor, is a hero created by Nabokov, who is full of flesh and blood and personality charm In the first sentence of the novel, Ivanov is introduced by the nickname "razor" Then it briefly introduces his extraordinary experience and the place where he left for Berlin: a small barber shop The third to fifth paragraphs introduce his working environment, exaggerate the atmosphere for subsequent events, and in the fifth paragraph throw out suspense (incentive events) - he wants to fight and revenge with a razor Starting from the sixth paragraph, a Russian KGB member comes to the barber shop to shave The author pushes the story to its climax with a continuous action / response basic beat - to kill the enemy with a razor But when the reader's heart hung in his throat and waited for the result, the plot turned sharply Ivanov let the man go He did not abuse the razor at last, showing the hero's rational restraint "Razor" is a single scene, a wonderful description of the whole process of shaving the KGB In addition, there are also some humorous close-ups of the characters, such as: there is a manicurist, anaemic and weak, transparent skin color There was a little velvet cushion in front of her, on which there were five fingers, which seemed to drain her energy The boss is also because of the intense heat and the long-standing desire for fire He quietly takes a pale and unresisted thin manicurist into the inner room.
