If she seduced other men and killed her husband, it was due to the human desire for love and freedom. So the figure on-screen was indisputably that of a woman who worthy of sympathy and pity. This effect derives from TV's expressiveness. The tone of voice and facial expression give viewers a sense of how the character feels and responds. There is always a direct physical resemblance to the reality.
TV uses both verbal and non-verbal expression.
Non-verbal expression plays a major part in conveying feelings, emotions and intentions. On-screen, even a silence can be imbued with meaning. A landscape described in print in thousands of words can flash across the screen in seconds and give the viewer a vivid and concrete impression. The Chinese Kongfu can achieve its effectiveness only on screen by the excellent performance of the Kongfu people. By contrast, print uses only abstract verbal symbols.
