歐陽子擅長書寫人物感情生活，以及他們自我覺悟的心理層面與過程。在歐陽子短篇小說〈素珍表姐〉中，可看見她所要呈現的是人性中潛藏的另一個自我，故事中的人物，並非完全都是坦承的面對人性的自我。這樣的描寫鋪陳更貼近身為人類的我們真正的行為：左右為難、逃避事實等等。如果歐陽子對人性沒有如此深刻的洞察，或許呈現出來的人物性格就不會如此生動。歐陽子所描寫的各式各樣的人性，往往是人類與社會不敢去面對的。但，迴避的行為並不表示這樣的人性不存在於我們所處的環境中，歐陽子勇敢揭露人性中隱藏許久的角落，不論是惡是善，都希望人類能夠誠實的面對自己的內心。

Ouyangzi is good at writing the emotional life of people, as well as their psychological level and process of self-awareness. In Ouyangzi's short story ＂Cousin Suzhen＂ we can see what she wants to present is another latent self in human nature. The characters in the story do not face human self sincerely. This depiction pays closer to our true behaviors as a human being: dilemma, escape the truth and so on. If Ouyangzi does not have such a profound insight into human nature, the characters may not present vividly. Ouyangzi describes all kinds of human nature that humans and the society dare not face. However, the act of escaping does not mean that such humanity does not exist in the environment which we live. Ouyangzi exposes the hidden corners of human nature bravely for a long time. No matter good or evil, we hope everyone can face themselves honestly.
