Abstract
Character relationships in literary works can be interpreted and analyzed from the perspective of social networks. Analysis of intricate character relationships helps to better understand the internal logic of plot development and explore the significance of a literary work. This paper attempts to extract social networks from Chinese literary works based on co-word analysis. In order to analyze character relationships, both social network analysis and cluster analysis are carried out. Network analysis is performed by calculating degree distribution, clustering coefficient, shortest path length, centrality, etc. Cluster analysis is used for partitioning characters into groups. In addition, an improved visualization method of hierarchical clustering is proposed, which can clearly exhibit character relationships within clusters and the hierarchical structure of clusters. Finally, experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method succeeds in establishing a comprehensive framework for extracting networks and analyzing character relationships in Chinese literary works.
