Lu Xun also revealed the complexity of human nature in his novels. In the process of revenge, the protagonist Feng Yujiao met many different people, including her friends, enemies, and the families of the victims. These people had different motives and purposes. Some acted for their own interests, while others helped to uphold justice.
