《三国演义》中描绘了大量离奇的死亡，作者虚构的王朗被诸葛亮骂死的情节便是其中之一。“诸葛亮骂死王朗”这一情节的题材选择、叙事内容以及叙事节点设计反映了明儒对儒家纲常伦理观念的反思以及在心学影响下文人对个人意志的推崇。

The Romance of the Three Kingdoms portrays a large number of bizarre deaths, among which the plot of Zhuge Liang cursing Wang Lang to death, a fictional character created by the author, is one of them. The theme selection, narrative content, and narrative node design of the plot Zhuge Liang cursing Wang Lang to death reflect the reflection of confucian scholars in the Ming Dynasty on the Confucian ethics and morality concept, as well as the admiration of individual will by literati under the influence of the Ming Neo-Confucianism.
