Relationships of characters can be explored from the perspective of social network. The novel portrays about a hundred dramatic characters. It describes the legend of Guo Jing, who is destined to shoulder the responsibility of the country and grow into a hero with the help of Huang Rong. Based on real historical events, this novel tells the story of the Southern Song Dynasty. The Legend of the Condor Heroes, written by JIN Yong, is one of the most reputable novels painting the fantasy world of Wuxia.
The final experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method shows a good effect. An improved approach of visualizing the clustering results is advanced in order to display the group and hierarchical structure better. Both the dendrogram and Venn diagram are used for data visualization.
Furthermore, a hierarchical clustering algorithm is implemented to study the structure of LCH network. By applying the social network analysis of created network, we can obtain network features of LCH. We reckon characters as nodes and count the cooccurrences of characters as weights of links. We first perform lexical analysis on the corpus to extract character names and then utilize co-word analysis to build a social network of character relationships. Moreover, the approach can be extended to other literary works because our research provides a general framework for analyzing character relationships. In this research, we attempt to analyze the relationship of characters in LCH based on social network, including network feature analysis, cluster analysis, and data visualization. It portrays a number of characters in the background of the Southern Song Dynasty. The Legend of the Condor Heroes (LCH) is one of the fifteen well-known Wuxia novels penned by Jin Yong.
