About This Novel

"Shakespeare's Tragedies" collects Shakespeare's five representative tragedies, including "Romeo and Juliet", "Hamlet", "Othello", "King Lear" and "Macbeth", covering all aspects of social life: there are tragedies with love as the theme, tragedies with revenge as the clue, and tragedies that directly expose evil. These tragic works represent Shakespeare's outstanding achievements, profoundly depict the tragedy of human nature and the destiny of mankind, and are great works in world literature. In "Romeo and Juliet", a series of accidental plots create a conflict between family feud and true love, and continue to intensify the conflict, making it impossible to resolve the conflict in a satisfactory way, and the only choice is final destruction. "Hamlet" uses the history of Denmark in the 8th century to reflect the social reality of England in the late 16th and early 17th centuries. "Othello" describes the strange love story between a Venetian noblewoman who has no experience in the world and the son of an African Moorish tribe leader. The story of "King Lear" comes from ancient British legends. There are many poems and proses on this theme. Shakespeare added original content such as the tragic ending and King Lear's madness based on the story blueprint. "Macbeth" has the dual aesthetic qualities of tragedy of fate and tragedy of character, which is consistent with the spirit of the times at that time.
