The advantages and disadvantages of the Monkey King should be explained in detail.

Advantages: overcoming self, bearing the burden of humiliation, being brave in sacrifice, accepting hardships, being smart, etc.

Disadvantages: youthful, reckless, without considering the consequences and responsibilities of actions, without profound ideals, claiming to be a "hero" is "arrogant", and "the emperor takes turns sitting on the ground" exposes his "supercilious". All these words and deeds are to show off. The arrogance of "self-righteousness" is bound to be shocked, as evidenced by "the fiasco in the Heavenly Palace was crushed under the Five Elements Mountain".

Extended data

The success of Journey to the West is due to the shaping of the Monkey King's image, while the Monkey King's "shining point" focuses on the inner soul of "heroic character". This is the transcendence of the author's ideal in reality and the product of the collision between the spirit of the times and social reality.

Although the Monkey King is a mythical hero, his heroic character is full of human beauty, which reflects the common demands, good wishes and ideal pursuits of people in that era. Therefore, the inside of this "myth" coat has more or less concentrated the strength and wisdom of the people themselves.
