"Shakespeare's Tragedies" contains Shakespeare's four representative tragedies, including "Romeo and Juliet" (1595), "Hamlet" (1601), "Othello" (1604), "Macbeth" (1606), etc. Among these four works, although "Romeo and Juliet" ends in tragedy, its comedic atmosphere makes the script "full of youth and spring"; "Hamlet" embodies less and less romanticism, and the realistic description becomes more and more prominent; "Othello" makes a profound and powerful criticism of the evil forces in real society; in "Macbeth" and other works, ideal and glorious positive characters no longer appear, and Shakespeare's humanistic ideals are increasingly shattered. These works all profoundly exposed the social problems and human tragedies that existed at that time, and represented Shakespeare's most outstanding achievements.

German poet Goethe has a famous saying: "There are countless Shakespeares!" Chinese dramatist Cao Yu once praised: "Shakespeare is a giant who always surprises and delights mankind!" Shakespeare is recognized as a world-class drama master. His plays contain the vastness of life, profound knowledge and endless profound thoughts. This book collects Shakespeare's six representative comedies, including "A Midsummer Night's Dream", "The Merchant of Venice", "As You Like It", "The Comedy of Errors", "Twelfth Night", and "The Merry Wives of Windsor". The themes are similar, but the plots are vivid and rich, unconventional. The intricate plots are often composed of many deceptions, coincidences, disguises and adventures. The work shines with the light of humanistic ideals, is full of joyful atmosphere and optimistic spirit, praises the beautiful love and innocent friendship of mankind, and has eternal charm.

This set includes: four great tragedies: "Hamlet", "Macbeth", "Othello" and "King Lear". Four major comedies: "The Merchant of Venice", "A Midsummer Night's Dream", "Much Ado About Nothing" and "Twelfth Night". Classic tragicomedy: "Romeo and Juliet".
