摘要

As a world-renowned masterpiece of Irish outstanding playwright Oscar Wilde, the soul of the aestheticism movement, Salome, which adapted from the story of the daughter of Herodias in New Testament, has been continuing its glamorous and unique charm not only in the field of literature but in other artistic field. At present, academic studies about Salome has been developing many different interpretation from various angles, such as aestheticism, feminist studies, and other very insightful theories. And Thunderstorm written by Chinese playwright Cao Yu has the same theme as Salome—the inevitable death of dreamers, though the young Syrian and Zhou Chong are in different society systems. This paper would go deeper on the topic of the fall of these two sup-porting characters.
