Answer 1

The author used different methods of description to reflect their different personalities when writing about Philip and Joseph.

Mr. and Mrs. Phillip's descriptions included:

- Language Description: Use the language, tone, and catchphrases of the Phillip couple to reflect their personality characteristics, such as Mrs. Phillip's sarcasm and Phillip's arrogance.
- [Action Description: Through describing the actions, movements, postures, etc. of the Phillip couple, it shows their personality characteristics, such as Mrs. Phillip's arrogance and Phillip's savagery.]
- Appearance Description: By describing the appearance and dressing of the couple, it shows their personality characteristics, such as Mrs. Philip's long hair, makeup, vanity, and Philip's fat, bald, and simple.

As for Joseph, the author used a more abstract method of description, not directly showing his appearance, actions, language, etc., but through hints and metaphor to reflect his personality characteristics such as his indifference, loneliness, inferiority, etc.

When writing about the Phillip couple and Joseph, the author also used a contrasting technique to highlight their strengths and weaknesses and show the contradictions and conflicts between them.

For example, in the novel, there was an obvious contrast between the Philip couple and Joseph. Philip's strengths were intelligence, wit, and ability. His weaknesses were selfishness, arrogance, and arrogance. Joseph's strengths were calmness, rationality, and thinking. His weaknesses were loneliness, inferiority, and lack of emotions. This kind of comparison allowed the reader to have a deeper understanding of the personalities and psychology of the Phillip couple and Joseph.
