Class Contradictions in Thunderstorm

The complex of contradictions in Thunderstorm, the contradiction between Zhou Puyuan and Fan Yi is not considered as the central contradiction, but only one of the various contradictions

It is quite reasonable to say that the contradiction between Zhou Puyuan and Lu Shiping is the central contradiction, because they are the representatives of the two contradictions, and they are the root of all the contradictions.

On the whole, the contradiction between Zhou Puyuan and Lu Shiping still belongs to the contradiction between a love-struck woman and a heartless man, which is mainly a problem of human nature. Although there is an element of class conflict in it, class conflict is not the main conflict.

This is also stated in the textbooks of secondary school language. And yet Mr. Cao Yu himself, has confirmed it!
