Appreciate:
Shakespeare's tragedy is mainly the contradiction between ideal and reality and the disillusionment of ideal. The contradiction between the humanistic ideal and the evil potential of the real society constitutes a dramatic conflict. The play depicts a group of people with humanistic ideals and describes their tragic struggle, destruction and moral strength with evil forces.
Hamlet, for example, is a typical image of humanists. The tragic accident shattered all his cherished ideals, revenged his father and reorganized Gan Kun, which made him feel that the task was arduous, so he was depressed, hesitant and lost in deep thinking.
In art, tragedy is the highest achievement of Shakespeare's plays. First of all, the use of multi-clue technique reflects the vividness and richness of the plot. For example, in Ha, three revenge clues are arranged, with the revenge of the prince as the main line and the other two clues interspersed. There are also two parallel and interlaced clues in Li.
Secondly, the characters are vivid, and the author is good at depicting the inner world of the characters in depth, making their characters more plump and profound. Such as Hamlet's famous monologue, full of philosophy. The process of mental breakdown after Macbeth's murder is more delicate and real. In addition, the author is also good at exaggerating the atmosphere, creating a tragic atmosphere and setting off the psychological activities of the characters.
For example, the image of night and blood runs through the drama "Mai", which is gloomy and horrible. In "Lee", there is a storm in the wilderness, and there is a strong sadness and anger ... all these make Shakespeare's tragedy an immortal masterpiece in the history of literature.

2. Othello was written in 1603. The work tells that Othello is a brave general in the Principality of Venice. He fell in love with the senator's daughter Desdemona.

Othello believed it and strangled his wife in a rage. Knowing the truth, he drew his sword, committed suicide with remorse and fell beside Desdemona.
3. King Lear was written in 1606. The main content of the story is that King Lear has three daughters. When he abdicated, he was attacked by his eldest daughter and second daughter, passed on to them, and expelled his youngest daughter. Finally, the eldest daughter and the second daughter were driven to the wilderness and became the third daughter of the French queen, leading the army to save his father. Finally, King Lear died of grief.
4. Macbeth's creation 1606 is a tragedy in Shakespeare's later creation, which is based on the Chronicle of Helinhide. Macbeth in the original work is a royal aristocrat and famous soldier in Scotland in the 1 1 century. Driven by ambition and incited by the witch's prophecy, he murdered King Duncan.
After usurping the throne, Macbeth suffered from extreme fears and doubts, but in order to keep the throne, he practiced tyranny and killed innocent people, and became a crazy and cruel tyrant, which was finally destroyed by the Crusaders led by Marcand, the son of Duncan.
In the process of writing Macbeth, Shakespeare made great changes to the records in The Chronicle: he turned the young Duncan into an old and kind monarch, killed the king in his unguarded sleep, and described Banco as a kind and upright general, so as to highlight Macbeth's insidious cunning and cruelty, and Banco in the original work was an accomplice.
