In "Modern Family" Gloria repeatedly emphasizes that she is Colombian in order to label the character. TV dramas, especially sitcoms, do not have enough time to flesh out the character's personality traits. In order to quickly construct the character's characteristics and create conflicts and jokes, they often label the characters with prominent labels. Representative labels

Take "Modern Family" as an example: Mitchel is a typical white-collar Californian (gay lawyer). Carmen (Carmeron) is a "country bumpkin" from the Midwest of Missouri. Phil is a romantic and affectionate man from Southern Europe.

The above are all very distinctive and representative labels in modern American society. The families composed of them are also the so-called "modern families."

As for Gloria, her label is: a beauty from a fighting nation in South America. "Colombian" is an attribute directly linked to "drug lords" and "anti-government forces". is the most suitable for her. The positioning of "the beauty of South America's fighting nation" is full of drama. It not only conforms to the reality of interracial marriages in Southern California, but also can produce "contrast cuteness", which complements Jay's tough tenderness and Manny's artistic tenderness.

In order to prevent the audience from forgetting this label, the character himself or others will repeat it to reinforce this characteristic.

Gloria's famous saying: In our Colombia... line drawing technique

Not just TV series, similar techniques are often used in Chinese classical novels, called "line drawing" "For example, "Water Margin", "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and "Journey to the West" among the four famous works all use line drawing techniques extensively.

Correspondingly, in modern novels and movies, more emphasis will be placed on the diversity and personality changes of characters. For example, the "Star Wars" series has always emphasized the contradiction and struggle between light and darkness within the characters. , readers cannot clearly distinguish between "good guys and bad guys" in "A Song of Ice and Fire". This is also caused by different historical periods and different artistic carriers having different requirements for creation.
