Introduction to Shakespeare
As we all know, Shakespeare's influence on the literary world and people's thoughts is of great significance. He is a famous dramatist, an outstanding writer and a writer with outstanding works. Shakespeare is no less famous in China than in the West. His works are widely read by later generations and have high literary value.
Shakespeare was born in England, and he married Anne as an adult. Since then, the two of them have been living together. Shakespeare has two children. In order to shoulder the heavy responsibility of family, he finally began to wander in the society and develop his own career at the beginning of the17th century. At one time, he was an actor, a screenwriter, a screenwriter and even a partner of the King's Troupe. With this experience, he will certainly bring many different inspirations in his future drama creation. In short, on the road of life, Shakespeare won a great victory and achieved good results.
Speaking of Shakespeare's writing time, of course, it is 1590- 16 13. In fact, when he first started writing, it was mainly comedy and some historical dramas. Due to the subtle ideological influence and creative experience, he reached a new climax of artistic depth. In the later period of creation, his works are mainly tragedies, which is easy for Shakespeare. During the Renaissance, he became a writer with noble sentiments, and his works were impassioned and made people read endlessly. Even though his works convey sacrifice and revenge, this spirit of benevolence and righteousness really makes many young artists in China full of praise. On the last leg of his life, he watched comedy again. He always attacks our thoughts by surprise, and his works from generation to generation are legends.
Shakespeare's contribution
When it comes to the development of drama and literature, we can't help talking about the Renaissance in Europe, and one of the most outstanding representatives of the Renaissance is definitely Shakespeare. This famous English playwright, poet and writer has created many extraordinary works in his ordinary life. China called him Shakespeare. Shakespeare's plays have been staged in the theatre since they came out and never ended. Shakespeare's greatest contribution is naturally his literary works.
In the field of literature, Shakespeare's most important contribution is to write many old plays, novels and folk stories with the common writing methods at that time, but his vocabulary is extremely rich and his portrayal of characters is very profound and vivid. Moreover, his stories are ups and downs, and the characters' languages have their own characteristics, which makes his works better interpreted in the theater. Shakespeare's creation is divided into three stages: early stage, middle stage and late stage, which is closely related to the social background at that time. For example, in the early stage, after Britain defeated Spain, Shakespeare's ideal humanistic feelings were reflected everywhere in his works, so he created four well-known comedies at this stage. In the middle period, with the deepening of social contradictions in Britain, Shakespeare's style began to change and develop into realism, and he created four tragedies with noble sentiments and the spirit of sacrificing revenge.
In English literature, Shakespeare contributed more than 20,000 English words. Although the number of these words is limited, they have profound meanings and unique artistic conception. Before Shakespeare, there were only more than 10 thousand words in English, but after him, the English vocabulary reached more than 30 thousand. In the society at that time, he not only provided more and richer words for writers to express his meaning, but also brought spiritual and spiritual sustenance to a large number of his readers. Shakespeare's contribution to ideal feelings and his criticism and satire on corrupt society have deeply inspired readers from generation to generation. He is not only a person who is immersed in writing, but also a person who shares joys and sorrows with the people at the bottom of society. He used his works to shout for himself and society.
Shakespeare's political incarnation
Writing is a tool of soft power. As a master of literature, Shakespeare's political significance can be said to be constant. Shakespeare's politics can be seen through the mirror of literature. Literature cannot be equated with non-fiction writing, but it is not all a factual account of what you have seen and heard. It must contain imaginary, twisted and even romantic imagination. As a kind of dual-world literature, it is a bridge between the free world and the outside world, and the virtual and the real coexist.
Shakespeare's politics, in his works, can not find his theoretical explanation of politics, nor can he know his own detailed life experience and his political attitude, so the only material that can be mastered is his works. Shakespeare has completed many works, among which his historical plays are directly related to social and political issues. He exposed and criticized the troubled times of charles ii, Henry IV, VI and Charles III from the negative side, and described his ideal society from the positive side? That is, during the reign of Henry V, before Henry V succeeded to the throne, he made great contributions to the war of defending the royal power, so the throne was well-deserved for him.
Shakespeare's political attitude can also be reflected by describing ministers. On the one hand, he mercilessly attacked the monarchs and ministers, on the other hand, he praised the sages and ministers. He advocated the unification of the upper and lower levels and the unity of beautiful politics, and strongly demanded the establishment of a strict social hierarchy and order under the rule of a wise monarch, with different upper and lower levels and orderly monarch and minister. Shakespeare also complained many times about his world view in his plays, that is, the essence of the universe lies in the idea of cosmic harmony of hierarchy and order, which is also in line with his political views.
Shakespeare's thoughts
Shakespeare is a great English playwright, writer and poet. He wrote nearly 40 plays and 150 poems in his life. Most of his plays and poems originated from the social reality at that time, reflecting the real life in the historical transition period when capitalist society gradually replaced feudal society. Most of Shakespeare's works promote the advanced bourgeois humanism at that time. Shakespeare's thoughts are deeply influenced by bourgeois humanitarianism.
In Shakespeare's era, the feudal ruling class has gradually lost its former glory and gradually disintegrated. At that time, the advanced bourgeoisie gradually became the dominant force in society. Shakespeare's thought was gradually attracted by the emerging bourgeois individualism-centered thought, and humanistic thought gradually occupied Shakespeare's heart. Shakespeare's humanistic thought is embodied in his literary works. He bravely criticized the ignorance and darkness of feudal society and the excessive suppression of natural humanity. He tried to establish a new social relationship between people through his works, so that people's natural nature can be fully developed.
Shakespeare's historical plays especially reflect Shakespeare's thoughts. In Shakespeare's historical plays, it is always advocated to reform the existing system and restrict the powers and privileges of feudal nobles and churches. It is argued that the power of the state should belong to the emerging bourgeoisie with knowledge and ability. The management and rule of the country should not rely on decadent feudal nobles. Only by reform and bold use of talents can the country and people be happier.
