《罗密欧与朱丽叶》赏析范文(6篇)
《罗密欧与朱丽叶》赏析范文(通用6篇)《罗密欧与朱丽叶》（RomeoandJuliet）是英国剧作家威廉·莎士比亚创作的戏剧，因其知名度而常被误称为威廉·莎士比亚的四大悲剧之一。
以下是我为大家收集的《罗密欧与朱丽叶》赏析范文(通用6篇)，仅供参考，欢迎大家阅读。
第一篇: 《罗密欧与朱丽叶》赏析在此刻的电视剧中，我们常常听到“孩子是无辜的”说法，可往往故事的最终，孩子的命运却是最凄惨的。
为了家族的利益，罗密欧与朱丽叶彷徨着，在走投无路时，选取了解脱。
爱驱使着他们向死亡迈进，情督促阗他们抛开家庭走到一齐，仇却注定了他们命运的相斥，苦痛的背后藏着多少无奈啊。
罗密欧与朱丽叶的故事不仅仅是一出戏，它必需也是当时现实生活的写照，太多太多的身不由己，数不胜数的无可奈何，这都是感情带给人们刻骨铭心的记忆。
感情是未成年孩子家长最忌讳的东西，感情是青年男女们最想拥有的东西，感情是年迈的老人望着老来伴时所感谢的东西。
它扮演着许很多多的主角，它能够是杯具的导演也能够是喜剧的策划人；它能够是毒药也能够是蜜糖，没人能摸得透它。
一旦跳进感情的陷阱就犹如离弦的箭再也收不回来，只是固执地朝着自己的目标飞去，不去理睬距离，笔直地穿过空气，最终落地。
落地后有两种可能：一种是完好无损地到达了目标，另一种便是正因某些缘由，折断了羽翼……很明显的，罗密欧与朱丽叶的感情之箭被折得粉碎，破坏者的力气强大得犹如能够劈开松柏的雷电。
不好以为坚决的感情就能长期，一旦它有损于第三者的利益，那么这段情必将受到被迫拆散的危急。
不管他们是否无辜，不管他们怎样抵抗，这个故事的背景就已为他们的结局作了铺垫。
他们凄惨吗？或许是的，正因他们没能相守到老，而是红颜英年早逝，或许不是，正因他们寻到了最终属于自己的另一半。
一个完善故事的结局，通常都以喜剧告终，读者看了当然兴奋，可看过以后过几天就会被遗忘。
一个故事假如以杯具结尾，那它必需会在读者心里留下点什么，或是圆满，或是惋惜，让读者反复咀嚼，思索。

作品简介
《罗密欧与朱丽叶》虽是一出悲剧，但两个青年男、女 主人公的爱情本身却不可悲。他们不仅彼此相爱，而且 大胆追求他们的爱情，不惜以命拼争。他们的爱情力量 使他们敢于面对家族的仇恨，敢于向生活中的障阻挑战。 他们为了追求新的生活模式。不怕做赎罪的羔羊，因而 他们的死亡虽是生命的终结，却在道德上取得了胜利。 终于使两个敌对的家族言归于好。许多学者和评论家从 这个意义上称这出戏是乐观主义的悲剧，也就是人们惯 说的悲喜剧。
这部悲剧包含两个部分：男女主人公的恋爱和两大家族的纠 纷。前者是主要的，后者是前者的社会背景和造成悲剧的主 要原因，在剧中是次要的，是主题的陪衬，但由于它具有普 遍的社会意义，所以构成了剧的不可分割的重要组成部分， 而不是仅仅起到一种背景的作用。
作品鉴赏
剧中可以看到冲突是两个家族之间的仇恨与对抗，但两家大规模的直接冲突到第三幕时已经基本 结束、三幕二场以后，剧情开始转向朱丽叶家庭内部的斗争。悲剧的主要冲突是罗密欧、朱丽叶 的爱情与两家仇恨的对立，是人道主义与中世纪封建道德的冲突，是新世界与旧世界的冲突。

1 法国作家雨果：它写的是“黎明的爱”。
2 俄国诗人普希金：“除了罗密欧和朱丽叶这两个莎士比亚妩媚描
述的令人心醉的创造物之外，全部悲剧中最精彩的人物，就是文 雅、情深、高贵而好争论的茂丘西奥——一个当代年轻骑士的典 范。诗人选取他作为意大利人的代表，而意大利人就是当时欧洲 最时髦的民族，号称16世纪的法国人。”

A Comparison of Romeo and Juliet and Butterfly Lovers Ⅰ. IntroductionBoth Romeo and Juliet and Butterfly Lovers are the love tragedies which enjoy high reputations in the West and China respectively for a long history. Romeo and Juliet is one of Shakespea re’s most famous tragedies, written in 1595.But Shakespeare did not invent the story. This tragedy was adapted by him based on the story of Romeo and Juliet in a long and plodding poem by a poet named Arthur Brooks(Spurgeon,1979:315).However, this didn’t p rove that Shakespeare lacked originality. His unique treatment of the story endowed it with the unparalleled charms attract people’s attention all the time. Butterfly Lovers, claiming to be“Chinese Romeo and Juliet”,is one of the great four folktales in China. It’s believed to be a tragedy reshaped from the historical story. So far many people still engage themselves in the research for its historical source. According to Fan Dai(2000:author’s note),most researchers agree that the story took place during the Jin Dynasty(906-960).Later it was put into writing and transformed into various artistic performances, such as drama, novel, film and a violin concert. It’s well-known that Romeo and Juliet is a tragedy about young love, hopes and dreams which are destroyed by the stupid family feuds. Its protagonists are the passionate young lovers from the rival families who show the amazing courage in pursuing theirhappiness even at the cost of their lives. Similarly Butterfly Lovers tells the Chinese lovers in the Jin Dynasty who are separated apart by the cruel feudal society because of their different social status. Under the great pressure from the authoritarian patriarchy society, the young couple has no choice but to commit suicide to resist the forced marriage. Both of these two tragedies end in the tragic death of the protagonists. Yet the lovers in Butterfly Lovers are reunited after death as a pair of butterflies. The tragedy is filled with the magical atmosphere by adopting a happy ending. The magical happy ending does not reduce the tragic sense of the whole play but reinforces it by suggesting the impossibilities of their reunion through the unreal way. Because of their popularity in both literatures, the comparison of them is of great significance to understand the uniqueness of the western literature and Chinese literature. This will promote the cultural communication and further their mutual understanding.Based on the comparative studies of Western tragedy and Chinese tragedy, the thesis will compare these two love tragedies from the following aspects of the themes, characters, conflicts, images and structure from the cultural perspective.Ⅱ.A Comparison of Romeo and Juliet and Butterfly LoversA. Themesa. LoveThe theme of love penetrates both Romeo and Juliet and Butterflylovers. Since both of these two tragedies claim to be famous love tragedies, love is naturally their dominant and most important motif. However, different types of love are explored under the distinctive cultural backgrounds. And the love is mild but unremitting enough to contend with all the overpowering forces. One striking similarity between these two great tragedies is the forcefulness of love which is so powerful that it triumphs over the overwhelming external forces and even the death. In Romeo and Juliet, love is a violent, ecstatic and overpowering force that supersedes all other values, loyalties, and emotions. In the course of the play, the young lovers are driven to defy their entire social world: families, friends and ruler. The play concentrates on the intensive love sprung from the first sight. Romeo’s feeling s for Juliet at the first sight are much stronger than his first love for Rosaline. Immediately he forgets Rosaline completely and falls in love with Juliet madly. When knowing Juliet’s identity,he says“my life is my foe’s debt”(Shakespeare,1952:49).He even risks climbing over the Capulet’s garden without taking the warning from his friends. Meanwhile Juliet, a barely 14-year old girl, knows Romeo to be her only true lover after meeting him at the party. She also expresses herself to her nurse in a bold way:Juliet:”Go ask his name :if he be married .My grave is like to be my wedding bed”(Shakespeare,1952:50).Even being informed that Romeo is the son of her family’s great enemy.Juliet: “My only love sprung from my only hate! Too early seen unknown and known too late! Prodigious birth of love it is to me, ThatI must love a loathed enemy”(Shakespeare,1952:50).Later at the garden driven by the passions of love, Juliet announces her minds, Then they exchanged their love vows in spite of their families ’age-old feud. It is apparent love for Romeo and Juliet is superior to anything else, even the bloody feuds. Before Romeo and Juliet’s secret marriage, Romeo is challenged by Tybalt, Juliet’s cousin. Romeo shows great respect for their love by refusing to duel with Tybalt.Romeo:“I do protest ,I never injured thee, But love thee better than thou canst devise ,Till thou shalt know the reason of my love: And so, good Capulet,--which name I tender As dearly as my own,--be satisfied”(Shakespeare,1952:69).Then the loss of his dear friend forces Romeo to take up the duel and he kills Tybalt. This shocks Juliet a nd she can’t accept the fact at first. She is tortured by the sense of family loyalty. Soon she realizes that her loyalty and love should first go to Romeo. She knows Romeo’s banis hment causes more pain than the death of a family member. In a sense, love defeats the kinship. When being informed of the Prince’s edict of banishment, Romeo immediately loses the will to live, for the banishment means the separation from Juliet. As for Juliet ,the love is also the drivingforce that encourages her to defy the commands of the family authority. She refuses to marry Paris, an ideal guy to marry according to her parents. Even the threats from her father, dissatisfaction from her mother and the opposition from the Nurse who supports her at the very beginning can not force her to abandon her love .All these combined only reinforce her love for Romeo. In order to reunite with Romeo, she shows no fear in taking the potion and being taken into the gloomy grave. And at the end their love even surpasses the death which is generally believed to be difficult to go beyond. In great distress, Romeo takes the poison he has brought to the crypt to hope to be with Juliet after death. To the great horror of Juliet, she awakes to find that her lover Romeo is dead beside her. Since Juliet can not bear the loss of her lover, she stabs herself with Romeo’s dagger, hoping not to be separated any longer. Love in this play is proved to be stronger even compared with other things, even the bloody feuds.Under the different cultural background, the lovers in China have to suffer more to seek their happiness. Unlike Renaissance period that advocates the humanity, the feudal China in which Confucian analects are highly regarded forbids the young to express their love openly. Women are expected to live by the “tenets of obedience and the four virtues”. They are required to obey their parents’ decision and enjoy no freedom in marriage. So the love of Liang and Zhu is quite rebellious and encouraging with regard to their specific culture. Unlike the love at thefirst sight between Romeo and Juliet, the love between Zhu Yingtai and Liang Shanbo is constructed on the basis of three years ’friendship .After studying and playing together for three years, Zhu Yingtai is more and more convinced of her own feelings for Shanbo. Only the intensive and permanent love can inspire her to defy the traditional ethics that she is taught since childhood. No matter how rebellious she is, she can not be brave enough to reveal her true identity and declare her love to him personally. She racks her brains to offer her own hand to him in marriage. On the whole, the initiative shown by Zhu Yingtai in pursuing true love is rather rare in the feudal China.To sum up, these two love tragedies rest on a common idea that love is a force of good vitality and it supersedes anything regardless of feuds, social distance or the feudal ethics.b. FateFate as a dominant force is evident from the very beginning to the very end of the play. Many instances in the play reveal that the love of Romeo and Juliet would have a tragic end. The first Prologue describes Romeo and Juliet as “A pair of star-cross’d lovers”Shakespeare,1952:31).“Star-cross’d”means a pair of lov ers who are destined to die and eparate. Not only in the beginning but also throughout the whole text the term“ star ”is epeated. Apparently the play is doomed to be a tra gedy by Shakespeare.“Two of the airest stars in all theheaven…”(Shakespeare,1952:52)The two stars,representing Romeo and Juliet,meet each other by fate.In the balcony Romeo’s exclamation of the b eauty of Juliet“The brightness of her cheeks would shame those stars”(Shakespeare,1952:52)is also interlaced with the star which predicts their tragic fate.When Romeo believes Juliet is dead,he expresses his extreme hatred towards fate.“Is it even so?Then I defy you stars”(Shakespeare,1952:99).All seem to be destined by fate.The meeting of Romeo and Juliet is too unlikely to be coincidence.The love between them is controlled by fate.The fate seems to make a malicious joke and the messenger is delayed because of the plague.While Romeo get the false information that Juliet is dead.He comes to Juliet before her waking .The unfortunate timing directly results in the couple’s tragic death.Zhu Yingtai and Liang Shanbo in Butterfly Lovers are destined to be ill-fated by the feudal society for their different social status.The great disparity in social status predicates their tragic end.Zhu Yingtai is the only daughter of a rich family while Liang Shanbo comes from a poor family.As in feudal China,the rank or status equality in marriage is generally agreed to be a law to abide by.Due to his social status,the father of Zhu Yingtai is determined to marry his daughter to a rich and powerful family for the sake of family honor.He will never be satisfied with the good-natured Liang Shanbo from disadvantaged background.Owing tothe different social status,Zhu Yingtai and Liang Shanbo is doomed to be separated.Even worse the feudal society grants no freedom for youth in their marriage.They are expected to be obedient to their parents and elders according to the ethics and morality in the society.It seems quite ridiculous for Zhu Yingtai to seek her husband on her own according to the customs.Rebellious girl she is,she still feel ashamed to mention the marriage of her own to her mother.No matter how violently she protests later,her father,the representative of the patriarchy society,will never consent.The reality is rather harsh for the young couple in the course of seeking their free love.Some will argue that the character flaws also lead to their catastrophic destructions.No wonder free will plays a certain role in the plays.However,the free will in the two tragedies is the accomplice of destiny.Romeo’s impetuous ness brings him to the party of Capulet where he falls in love with the only daughter of his great enemy.Since then they are in the hands of fate.Again that his impetuousness driven by anger kills Tybalt brings him closer to his destine.In the end,the fatal joke on him can succeed only because of his character.His impetuousness for committing suicide when supposing Juliet to be dead leads to their real tragedy.As for Juliet,her impatience to change their ill fate only accelerates the tragic death of her lover and herself.Many people believe that the tragedy of Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai partly results from theirweak personality.It’s partially true,especially for the case of Liang Shanno. Liang Shanbo,a typically frail scholar,concerns only about his studies.When confronted frustration,he is too feeble to say a word but die brokenhearted.Although Zhu Yingtai never shakes under the great pressure of the feudal authority,she shows the astonishing courage only after Liang Shanbo dies.This is doomed to be a tragedy.B. Tragic Charactersa. Juliet versus Zhu YingtaiAfter reading Romeo and Juliet and Butterfly Lovers,we will find that the heroines Juliet and Zhu Yingtai are far more complicated characters in these two works.Their inner conflicts reveal the greatness of love and the bravery,determination and strength of women who are generally regarded as the weak of the society. Juliet,a barely fourteen-year old girl,seems obedient and naive at the beginning of the play.Unlike many girls of her age,she never gives a thought about the subject of marriage.When Lady Capulet mentions Paris’possible marriage with Juliet,Juliet answers in an obedient way:she will see if she can love pared with Juliet,Zhu Yingtai tends to be more rebellious than Juliet at the beginning.Under the patriarchy society,girls are not allowed to go to school.Yet Zhu Yingtai defies it and makes attempts to persuade her father to change his mind.The love at the first sight with Romeo propels Juliet to full maturity.Even having been profound in love withRomeo,she is level-headed enough to offer Romeo the opportunity to think rationally about the love for her.Juliet:“Dost thou love me?I know thou wilt say‘Ay’;And I will take thy word.…If thou dost love,pronounce it faithfully.Or if thou thinkest I am too quickly won,I’ll frown and be perverse and say thee nay…”(Shakespeare,1952:54)These lines suggest Juliet has shown a maturity and an understanding of the seriousness of the state of matrimony.The shift from immaturity to maturity shows the great courage and wits that Juliet possesses.However Zhu Yingtai seems to be rather conservative in expressing her love for Liang Shanbo for in ancient China it’s disgraceful for a girl to do so.After close observation and contact with Liang Shanbo,she draws a conclusion that he is good-natured and reliable man for her.Since she is a girl disguised as a man,it’s improper for her to reveal her affections to him directly in that situation.However she is witty and courageous enough to give hints to Liang Shanbo of her true identity on the way home as well as ask help of Mrs.Zhou,the wife of her master.Facing the great pressure during the course of seeking their happiness,both Juliet and Zhu Yingtai shows their amazing determination.In Romeo and Juliet the feuds of the two eminent families are so bitter that even the servants of the two families are incompatible as suggested in the first scene of brawls between them.And then Romeo’skilling of Tybalt,As a heroine in the Chinese love tragedy Butterfly Lovers,Zhu Yingtai shows striking similarities with Juliet in resolving to stay with her lover Liang Shanbo.She displays immense courage and determination when challenging the parental authority and the foundation of the feudal doctrines for her future happiness.b. Romeo versus Liang ShanboRomeo,the son and heir of Montague and Lady Montague,is a handsome,intelligent and sensitive young man.Liang Shanbo is also a handsome and refined and cultivated young man with humble origin.Although with different temperament,both of them play an indispensable role in these two well-known pared with heroines,the heroes of Romeo and Juliet and Butterfly Lovers are relatively weaker and more passive characters in fighting for their free love.Before Romeo meets Juliet,he is a melancholy and apathetic youth.He feels despaired at the indifference of a girl named Rosaline at him for he believes he loves her.Then Juliet’s appearance changes his belief and he forgets Rosaline completely.True love propels from immaturity to maturity quickly.He is no longer melancholic but dynamic and courageous youth.Family feuds can not prevent him from his lover.When challenged by Tybalt,a rash Capulet,he begs Tybalt to hold off the duel for his love for Juliet. His rage for Tybalt kills the latter and he receives banishment for whichhe nearly kills himself.Again hisimprudence brings him the real tragedy for him and his ter in Mantua he receives the false information o f Juliet’s death and breaks the banishment order which threatens death for him to see his Juliet.His eagerness to be with her makes him commit suicide in the quickest way.Despite of his impudence,his love for Juliet is powerful and can not be denied anyway.Liang Shanbo is exactly the opposite of the dynamic,courageous and even rash Romeo.He is a typical Chinese scholar who is sincere and honest but slow in action.His dumbness is well explained by the fact that he has no idea of the true identity of Zhu Yingtai after three years’friendship.However his love fo r Zhu Yintai can not be denied.When informed of Zhu Yingtai’s true identity,he is entr anced with joy.Then the news of Yingtai’s arranged marriage is like a chill shooting throu gh his body and his chest has a dull pain as if someone had hit him hard.He even has to hold on himself to the desk.After a month’s torture with a sense of helplessness and depression,his heath rapidly deteriorates and soon dies of a broken heart.He is too weak as a man to stand strains and he doesn’t shown any courage and determination to protect Zhu Yintai.The bad news is enough for him.As the outcome of the teachings of traditional doctrine,he has lost the confidence to fight for their happiness by taking it as an inevitable result.The tragedy of his character lies in his cowardice to challenge the feudal arranged marriage by making attempts to fight withZhu Yingtai or giving her some confidence.C. Tragic Conflictsa. Conflicts in Romeo and JulietRoughly speaking,the conflicts of Romeo and Juliet are more intensive and violent than those of Butterfly Lovers although the latter has its own criteria for the strife of the characters in accordance with its traditional customs.As a love story Romeo and Juliet,conflicts penetrate it throughout the whole play.It is constantly interrupted by and entwined with various conflicts between the characters and themselves.The conflict of love and hatred rather than that of good and evil predominates the whole tragedy and even leads to the protagonists’death.This thesis will make some studies on how the two irreconcilable forces love and hatred build up their fierce conflicts. Their bitter feuds are vividly depicted from the prologue about the brawls between their servants which indicates their incompatibility.Their strife goes on regardless of the decree of death made by Prince of V erona of the one who disturbs the future peace.Even at the threat of death,Tybalt is ready to fight against the Montague for Romeo’s appearance at the Capulet’s feast enrages him.The tension between the two families is again built up as it suggests the potential increasing conflict of the two families in the Capulet’s house.Their enmity seems uncontrollable even under the pressure of being sentenced to death.But hatred is not the most striking force and it meets love thistime.In order to see Rosaline,Romeo risks his life at the Capulet’s party only to find Juliet is his true lover.At the party,they fall in love with each other at the first sight.Both of them are filled with the strong mixed feelings of love and hatred when informed each other’s identities.Romeo utters“my life is my foe’s debt”(Shakespeare,1952:49).The love for Juliet is so intensive that Romeo doesn’t care whether at the cost of his own life.He seems totally in the control of his enemy’s only daughter’s hands.And Juliet expresses her inner conflicting feelings in more details: Juliet:“My only love sprung from my only hate！Too early seen unknown,and known too late!Prodigious birth of love it is to me,ThatI must love a loathed enemy”(Shakespeare,1952:50).The violent mental conflict is depicted through the sharp contrast of the antonyms:“early”and“late”,“known”and“unknown”and“love”and“hate”. Her mental struggle of love against hate is reinforced through the adjective“only”.She has to admit her minds that she has no choice but love her ter in the orchard,the love vows between the youths indicate love triumphs hate again.Through the earlier mental struggle,Juliet clearly knows that she loves Romeo for he is himself.Montague is just the name of her enemy and has no relationship with him.She will abandon the hatred of the two families if Romeo gives up his name.Hearing the soliloquy of Juliet,Romeo answers he will not be Romeo but her lover.Love is more of vitality and power compared withthe long-standing bitter hatred.True love never runs smooth.Their love meets the new challenge and faces the unprecedented pressure.The love for Juliet tells Romeo that he has to tolerate with this loathed kinsman.He responds that he loves him and values the name of Capulet which once is the synonym of hatred.Love apparently shows the unimaginable tolerance towards its sworn enemy hatred.However the two incompatible forces are reversible for each other.The love for the slain dear cousin fills Romeo with hatred and provokes him to duel with Tybalt and kills him finally.The conflict of their two families culminates at the death of Tybalt.Even Juliet who loves Romeo deeply feels betrayed and uneasy at the news.She is tortured by the conflicting forces of family loyalty and the wifely duty.All these antonyms are the exact expression of her mixed feelings for Romeo.She loves him as well as hates him to some extent for her slain cousin.However it is not long before her love for Romeo and her sense of wifely duty cause her to worry about the safety of her husband.She is even bold enough to defend Romeo by rebuking the Nurse for her ill words for Romeo.The strife between Juliet and her Nurse is the transformation of the conflict of family loyalty and love.Facing the accusations from Nurse for her indifference to her cousin,she answers that the result of the death of her cousin comforts her better than the loss of Romeo.Indeed Romeo and Juliet is full of the heart-stirring conflicts rangingfrom the violent brawls and blood shedding of the feuding families to the fierce strife of love and hatred of the various characters,especially of the protagonists.No space seems to be free of the shadow of the conflict even the humorous joke.b. Conflicts in Butterfly LoversButterfly Lovers is a refined love story with rather simple plots which leave little space for the developing of the complex conflicts between the tragic characters. Generally speaking,Butterfly Lovers follows Chinese traditional treatment of conflict in tragedy.The basic conflict is the protagonists’pursuit of true love between the feudal marriage system,feudal ethics and patriarchic authority.It is unfolded mainly through the heroine Zhu Yingtai against the forced marriage.The moral nature of Chinese tragedy determines the degree of strife between the protagonists and the feudal society.At the very beginning of this popular tragedy,there is a vivid description of the contradiction of Zhu Yingtai and the feudal ethics.Unlike other girls,Zhu Yingtai has her own way of doing things.In order to go out for some formal education,she comes to her parents for their consent.Actually women are not allowed to go out for education at that time.As a saying explicitly expresses that“a virtuous woman should be one without any talent”(Fan Dai,2000:author’s note),Of course,Zhu Gongyuan,a spokesman of the feudal society doesn’t grant the permission.His firm position seemsunchangeable no matter howeagerly Zhu Yingtai shows for an education.As a girl,withgreat determination,Zhu Yingtai makes continuous attempts to persuade her father.Finally the conflict is resolved with the compromises made by the two sides.Zhu Yingtai can go out for education on the condition that she should disguise as a man and keep the secret.After falling in love with Liang Shanbo,Zhu Yingtai becomes shy and timid in deciding whether to reveal her true identity to Lian g Shanbo or not.In feudal China,it’s forbidden for a girl to express her love to a man,for it is regarded as disgraceful and scandalous. As we have observed that so far the conflicts in Butterfly Lovers are rather mild compared with those of western tragedy that emphasizes on the violent clashes of two sides,the Chinese ones prefer to be resolved with a compromising approach. In this play,Zhu Yingtai is the focus and she is more vividly depicted than any other characters through the detailed description of her defiance against the authority of patriarchic society.As the cruel society gradually devours her beautiful dream with Liang Shanbo,she becomes firmer at her decision and shows the unimaginable courage and determination to fight for her happiness.Driven by the belief to change her ill fate,she is resolute to make another attempt.She begs her father to cancel the wedding and return all the gifts to Ma family for she and Liang Shanbo have sworn that they would not marry anyone except each other.Zhu Gongyuan is appalled and annoyed at her mentioning the relationship with LiangShanbo so openly.Zhu Gongyuan is in fury and commands her to marry Ma Wencai whether she likes it or not.Defiantly Zhu Yingtai grabs a pair of scissors and cuts off a bunch of her hair by declaring that she will cut off her hair and go to nunnery if her father refuses to return the gifts.In this scene,the conflict between the daughter and the father finds its expression in a violent way.The last conflict of Zhu Yingtai and the feudal society is highlighted in the scene of her committing suicide at the tomb of Liang Sha nbo.Zhu Gongyuan’s stubbornness smashes Zhu Yingtai’s dream into pieces..And the death of Liang Shanbo reinforces her determination to cut off from her family.The world now means nothing to her for the world had cruelly depraved the life of her lover and destroyed their happiness.To protest the injustice she decides to join her lover in another world.She pretends to agree to the arranged marriage but on condition that the wedding procession must bypass her lover's graveyard. She also insists on donning the white mourning garments over her red wedding dress. These are too much for Zhu Gongyuan who threatens to bind her to the sedan.Zhu Yingtai declares to commit suicide if his father does so.Knowing the resoluteness of her daughter, Zhu Gongyuan makes a concession and asks the matcher to persuade Ma Wencai. Upon the insistence of Zhu Yingtai, Ma Wencai has to order the procession to pass by Shanbo’s tomb.Zhu Yingtai’s jumping into the tomb of Liang Shanbo pushes the tragedy at its climax. She bitterly condemns the feudalmorality that has thwarted their love by committing suicide.Ⅲ. A Comparison of Value Dimension of Western Culture and Chinese Culture: Individualism＆Collectivisma. Western Culture and IndividualismIn terms of the western social values,the top values are the personal ones,such as personal freedom,rights of the individual,self-reliance and personal achievements.In short,the core of Western values is individualism.In a general sense,individualism refers to the doctrine that the rights of the individual are the most important ones in a society. Individualism,which is conceived by ancient philosophy of Greece and Rome and Christianity, is fully developed for the first time in Renaissance and thereby,has gradually grown into the core of Western Culture.As a general feature of Western culture,it finds its manifestations in the eulogy to individual heroes.Greek mythology and tragedy gives us dramatic and powerful stories of radical individuals.Tragedy like Sophocles’Antigone,the rebel woman and Euripide’s Medea are all the character prototypes that challenge the absolute powers of the State even if such a challenge means death and agony.In the epic poems the individual’s heroic exploits and contributions are placed above collective efforts.Christian tradition elevates individualism.In Christianity traditions,individuals are important not only to each other, but also to the society and God.Individualism has been a virtue handed down from their。

罗密欧与朱丽叶和梁祝的异同英语作文
罗密欧与朱丽叶和梁祝的异同英语作文全文共3篇示例，供读者参考篇1Romeo and Juliet, a tragic love story written by William Shakespeare, and Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai, a classical Chinese love story known as the Butterfly Lovers, are two timeless tales that have captured the hearts of audiences for centuries. While both stories revolve around forbidden love and tragic endings, there are also many differences in their plotlines, cultural backgrounds, and character developments.One of the main similarities between Romeo and Juliet and Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai is the theme of forbidden love. In Romeo and Juliet, the Montague and Capulet families are feuding, which makes Romeo and Juliet's love forbidden. Similarly, in Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai, Liang and Zhu come from different social classes and their love is forbidden by society.

《罗密欧与朱丽叶》中英文对照读后感.doc
《罗密欧与朱丽叶》中英文对照读后感《罗密欧与朱丽叶》中英文对照读后感《罗密欧与朱丽叶》中文版读后感：故事发生在维洛那名城，有两家门第相当的巨族，累世的宿怨激起了新争，鲜血把市民的白手污渎。
是命运注定这两家仇敌，生下了一对不幸的恋人••••••在一首概括性的开场诗后，这部流传了几百年的著名爱情悲剧拉开了帷幕。
在这个暑假了，我莫名地爱上了莎士比亚的戏剧，在看过《哈姆雷特》、《李尔王》等后，最可惜没看到这部举世闻名的戏剧，第一次来到图书馆，就盯上了它，下定决心要在3节阅读课上把它读完。
这部书的写作风格和其他大不一样，从开头就可以感觉得到。
整部戏剧是用诗一般的语言来书写的，优雅的贵族用诗句来对话，而仆人们却很普通，足以显出地位的悬殊，通篇洋溢着人文的浪漫的基调。
凯普莱特家族与蒙太玖家族是世仇，正如剧本里所描写的，他们一见面就会打起来，势不两立的两个家族的儿女却成了一对苦恋情人，这是不是上帝造化弄人？她是天上明珠降落人间！罗密欧这样形容朱丽叶。
舞会当晚，在月夜的花园里，浪漫的薄纱般的白色月光下，一对情人互诉衷肠，到这儿全局本到了中间部分，正在向高潮推进，他们秘密地结婚，似乎是喜剧的路线却来了个大转弯。
谁也不会想到，在他们成婚几小时后，罗密欧因为朱丽叶的表哥杀死了朋友而把他杀了。
他被放逐了，朱丽叶悲痛万分，因为她的表哥，因为她的丈夫。
祸不单行，准备把童贞献给死亡的她又被父母自作主张地许配给了伯爵。
那天晚上，罗密欧偷偷爬到朱丽叶房里。
似乎是他对她的告别，他得在天亮时离开。
不光是男女主角，就是我这个读者，也不希望黎明的到来，希望代表黑夜的夜莺永远唱出婉转的曲调，赶走代表黎明的云雀。
我特别喜欢朱丽叶服安眠药前以及罗密欧在她墓中服毒自杀之前的那大段独白。
其中的最后一句极其相似。
朱丽叶：我为你干了这一杯！罗密欧：为了我的爱人，我干了这一杯！朱丽叶在不清楚这药到底是什么，会有什么作用之前，毅然饮下了它，她为了她的爱情、她的计划，干了这一杯。
罗密欧与朱丽叶英文版读后感
罗密欧与朱丽叶英文版读后感最近读了《罗密欧与朱丽叶》的英文版，心里那叫一个五味杂陈呐！这故事开篇就把我给吸引住了，两个家族，蒙太古和凯普莱特，那是水火不容，见面就掐架。
这气氛紧张得哟，感觉空气里都能擦出火星子。
就在这么个乱糟糟的背景下，罗密欧和朱丽叶相遇了。
罗密欧这小伙子，本来是去参加一个舞会，心心念念着另一个姑娘。
可谁能想到，一进那舞会的门，他的眼睛就像被施了魔法一样，定在了朱丽叶身上。
朱丽叶呢，也是一眼就瞧上了罗密欧。
我就在想，这爱情来得也太突然了，就像一阵龙卷风，把两个人一下子就卷进去了。
他们俩偷偷在阳台幽会的那段，真的是太绝了。
朱丽叶站在阳台上，那月光洒在她身上，美得不像话。
罗密欧在下面偷偷听着，心里跟揣了个小兔子似的。
朱丽叶轻声说着对罗密欧的爱意，那话语温柔得能把人心都给融化了。
她说：“罗密欧啊，罗密欧！为什么你偏偏是罗密欧呢？否认你的父亲，抛弃你的姓名吧；也许你不愿意这样做，那么只要你宣誓做我的爱人，我也不愿再姓凯普莱特了。
”哎呀，这叫一个深情款款，我读着都忍不住跟着心动。
然后他俩就决定私定终身，也不管家族的那些仇恨。
这得需要多大的勇气啊！想想看，周围的人都反对，可他们就是认定了彼此。
这让我想起我自己曾经做过的一些疯狂的决定，虽然没有他们这么惊天动地，但那种不顾一切的劲头倒是有点相似。
他们秘密结婚后，麻烦事儿一个接一个。
罗密欧为了给朋友报仇，一不小心把朱丽叶的表哥给杀了，这下可好了，直接被流放。
朱丽叶这边呢，家里人逼着她嫁给另一个人。
这朱丽叶急得呀，都快疯了。
她去找神父帮忙，神父给了她一瓶假死药，想着等罗密欧回来把她救走。
可谁知道这中间出了岔子，罗密欧没收到消息，以为朱丽叶真死了。
他冲到朱丽叶的墓前，哭得那叫一个撕心裂肺。
我读到这儿的时候，感觉心都要碎了。
罗密欧最后选择了自杀，躺在朱丽叶身边。
等朱丽叶醒来，发现罗密欧死了，她也毫不犹豫地结束了自己的生命。
这结局真的是太惨了，我都不忍心再回想一遍。
莎士比亚和作品《罗密欧与朱丽叶》研究(英文版)7
William Shakespeare1. Works: 154 sonnets, 38 plays, 2 long poemsComedy :Merchant of Venice.2. 4 great tragedies: Hamlet, Othello, King Lear, MacbethEach portrays some noble hero, who face the injustice of human fate is closely connected with the fate of the whole nation, each hero has his weakness of nature. Hamlet, the melancholic scholar-prince, faces the dilemma between action and mind: Othello’s i nner weakness is made use of by the outside evil force; the old King Lear who is unwilling to totally give up his power makes himself suffer, from treachery and infidelity; Macbeth’s lust for power stirs up his ambition and leads him to incessant crime.3 Merchant of VeniceIn this play, Shakespeare has created tension: ambiguity, a self conscious and self-delighting artifice that is at once intellectually existing and emotionally engaging . The sophistication derives in part from the play between high, outstanding romance and dark faces of negating and hate the traditional theme of the play is to praise the friendship between Antonio and Bassanio, to idealize Portia as a heroine of great beauty , wit and loyalty, and to explore insuitable greed and brutality of the Jew.4 Hamlet.The play has the qualities of a “blood-and-thunder” thriller and a philosophical exploration of life of life and death, the timeless appeal of his mighty drama lies in its combination of injustice, emotional conflict and searching philosophic melancholy. Hamlet is obliged to inhabit a shadow world , to live suspended between fact and fiction, language and action. His life is one of the constant role-playing examining the nature of acting only to deny its possibility. For such a figure, soliloquy is a natural medium, a necessary release of his anguish; and some of his questioning monologue posses surpassing power and insight. By revealing the power-seeking, the jostling for place , the hidden motives, the courteous superficialities that veil lust and guilty, Shakespeare condemns the hypocrisy and treachery and general religious corrupting at the royal count.A. 创作生涯及作品a. Apprenticeship period.b. Highly individualized period.c. Greatest tragedies and dark comedies period. d. Romantic tragicomedies period.B. 作品主题a. Shakespeare’s history plays are mainly written under the principle that national unity under a mighty and just sovereign is a necessity.b. In his romantic comedies, Shakespeare takes an optimistic attitude toward love and youth, and the romantic elements are brought into full play .c. The tragedies: The play, though a tragedy, is permeated with optimistic spirit.C. 四大悲剧(常考)A). The common features:Shakespeare’s greatest tragedies are: Hamlet, Othello, King Lea r, and Macbeth. They have some characteristics in common. Each portrays some noble hero, who faces the injustice of human life and is caught in a difficult situation and whose fate is closely connected with the fate of the whole nation.B). The realistic spirits .Along with the portrayal of the weakness or bias of the hero, we see the sharp conflicts between the individual and the evil force in the society, which shows that Shakespeare is a great realist in the true sense.D. 艺术成就A). The characters:a. Shakespeare’s major characters are neither merely individual ones nor type ones.b. By applying a psycho-analytical approach, Shakespeare succeeds in exploring the characters’ inner mind.c. Shakespeare also portrays his characters in pairs. Contrasts are frequently used to bring vividness to his characters.B). Construction:a. Shakespeare’s plays are well-known for their adroit plot construction. He borrows them from some old plays or storybooks, or from ancient Greek and Roman sources.b. He would shorten the time and intensify the story. There are usually several threads running through the play.C). Language and style:a. Irony is a good means of dramatic presentation. Disguise is also an important device to create dramatic irony, usually with woman disguised as man.b. He has an amazing wealth of vocabulary and idiom. His influence on later writers is immeasurable. Almost all English writers after him have been influenced by him either in artistic point of view, in literary form or in language.Language of ShakespeareIt could even be argued that Shakespeare invented a large part of the English language, and helped to amplify and develop its major qualities: its flexibility and potential for concrete imagery. There are innumerable expressions which have passed directly from Shakespeare's plays into everyday language. Here are just a few examples drawn from Hamlet.There’s something rotten in the state of DenmarkNot a mouse stirringFrailty, thy name is womanMore matter, with less artHold the mirror up to nature.Shakespeare breaks with all of the rigid principles of the past; for him the world is not fixed, it changes constantly and language can only be the faithful reflection of all these transformations. His language is therefore characterised above all by its flexibility; it adapts itself to every circumstance and reflects every thought and emotion of the characters, from the most lofty to the most everyday. Nor does Shakespeare hesitate to pass from verse to prose, from an ultra literary language to one of the greatest vulgarity, often within the language of a single character and even within the same speech. This is particularly true of Hamlet, see for example the soliloquies and the sexual wordplay, puns and innuendoes.Shakespeare’s inventiveness: of all the authors in the English language he is without doubt the one with the most extensive and richest vocabulary. He draws from all areas of language and from all registers. Nevertheless his language always has the tone and pace of the spoken word. Shakespeare never forgot that he was first of all a man of the theatre and that what he wrote on paper was to be spoken. From this arise unforgettable sound combinations; there are in the soliloquies of Hamlet passages which delight the ear. There are also miracles of simplicity and power: Descartes’ ‘I think, therefore I am’ convinces us; ‘To be or not to be, that is the question’ moves us.The world of Shakespeare is the world transformed into images and metaphors; an object becomes a word which turns it into an idea or an emotion. There are also double meanings, puns and wordplay, at times ironic, often obscene, always witty, even in the greatest tragedies.Shakespeare has survived all the ages: rooted in the Renaissance he survived the Enlightenment, Romanticism, realism, the Industrial Revolution; he has adapted to the computer age and is spreading throughout the Web. He endures, he is indestructible. He speaks to everyone; for some he is a Marxist, for others a misogynist; some say he is close to what we would nowadays call the far right, etc. Perhaps he has none of these characteristics, perhaps he is all these things at once, as we all are. He has wonderfully anticipated all the schools of psychology of the 19th and 20th centuries. He knows human nature, consequently he knows us, and consequently we recognise ourselves in his characters.Themes of Romeo and JulietHow does Romeo and Juliet apply to teenagers today? Well, first of all, it can be seen simply as an e ntertaining story. It’s a tragic love story between two teenagers. But, if you look into the themes of the play, you will see that there are many lessons we can learn from the two doomed lovers. Shakespeare Alive provides this teaching resource that shows how the play is applicable to teenagers today.Theme 1- LOVELove plays an important role in Romeo and Juliet. Throughout the play, one can analyze the different types of love that Shakespeare explores. First, there is lustful love. This is basically love for the purpose of sexual pleasure. First shown in the conversation between Sampson and Gregory, this type of love is also illustrated by the Nurse and her comments to Juliet. The second type of love is infatuation. Romeo thinks he’s in love and moans o ver Rosaline. How many people can relate to that? Much of teenage love is simply in the head--- you think that you have found the "only one," when you’ve really only found an obsession. The third type of love is the one illustrated with Paris. In the play, this has to do with the fact that marriages were arranged. Paris is the guy that Juliet’s parents think is fit for her. In today’s society, Paris can be seen as the stereotypical guy (or girl). He/She seems perfect and your parents love him/her, but that isn’t love. Love is not an image; it’s a commitment.Finally, we come to true, 100% pure love. When Romeo meets Juliet, he knows that she’s different. Love changes people. Romeo became a more passionate, eager person and Juliet became more independent. Most importantly, love lasts through hardships. Love is not just a feeling; it is something that a person is willing to do something for. In the extreme case of Romeo and Juliet, they were each willing to die for each other--- that is love. Their love was so strong that they were willing to go against years of hatred between their families and try to make things work.Now the warning: don’t rush out and marry some guy/girl that you meet at a party. Don’t forget that Romeo and Juliet are dead. Romeo and Juliet is a story. But the lessons of love do hold true: love is not self-seeking, obsessive, or based on appearances. Love is shown through actions.Theme 2- HATEThe role of hatred also plays an important role in Romeo and Juliet. The hatred between the Montagues and Capulets ends up killing their only two children. And what was this hate for? Nothing. It was just an ancient feud that no one bothered ending. If the two families had just stopped feuding earlier, the lives of the two lovers could have been saved. Hatred never leads up to any good. Shakespeare tells us that it is senseless in fighting with someone just for the sake of fighting. This is an everlasting lesson.Theme 3- FATERomeo and Juliet were "star-crossed lovers," as the prologue at the start of the play indicated. They had fate against them. In that time, people were very wary of what the stars said. If two people’s stars were crossed in the sky, they would never remain together. Obviously, Romeo and Juliet didn’t live happily ever after, as their death in the end showed. But there were many unfortunate happenings that led up to their death. Fate was not on their side. First of all, Romeo only met Juliet by chance. Only because the Capulet servant was blind and unable to read the list of guests, Romeo was allowed into the ball. By unfortunate chance, Romeo and Juliet fell in love before they realized that they were from opposing families. After Romeo and Juliet’s marriage, Romeo did not want to fight Tybalt. But because Tybalt killed Mercutio, Romeo demanded revenge. Things still might have worked out between the two lovers. After enough time passed, Romeo and Juliet could tell their families what happened and Romeo could return to Verona. But, Juliet’s parents want her to marry Paris. The Friar concocts another plan. He gives Juliet a drug that will make her appear dead for 42 hours. However, fate is not on their side again. The letter sent by the Friar never reaches Romeo because of a quarantine. The Friar arrives too late to stop Romeo from killing himself. Juliet awakes only minutes after Romeo has died. The list is long, illustrating the power of fate in the case of Romeo and Juliet. Do we believe in fate today? Or do things happen because we cause them to? Some people believe that it is a combination of the two.Literary Technique- FORESHADOWINGBasically, everyone can figure out what is going to happen to Romeo and Juliet. The prologue states that the "star-crossed lovers take their life." But as the play progresses, there are many subtle clues that confirm the fact that Romeo and Juliet will die. This is the literary device known as foreshadowing. Foreshadowing is the use of symbols to show what will happen in the f uture. Some examples:Act 1, scene 4 Romeo gets a bad feeling before going to the Capulet ball.I fear, too early: for my mind misgivesSome consequence yet hanging in the starsShall bitterly begin his fearful dateWith this night's revels and expire the termOf a despised life closed in my breastBy some vile forfeit of untimely death.Act 2, scene 3 The Friar warns Romeo about rushing into things.Wisely and slow; they stumble that run fast.Act 3, scene 1 Mercutio is stabbed, insisting tha t he’s fine.No, 'tis not so deep as a well, nor so wide as achurch-door; but 'tis enough,'twill serve: ask forme to-morrow, and you shall find me a grave man.Act 3, scene 5 Juliet looking down on Romeo from her bedroomO God, I have an ill-divining soul!Methinks I see thee, now thou art below,As one dead in the bottom of a tomb:Either my eyesight fails, or thou look'st pale.Act 4, scene 3 Juliet is getting worries over the Friar’s plan. Should she take the drug? What if it be a poison, which the friarSubtly hath minister'd to have me dead,Lest in this marriage he should be dishonour'd,Because he married me before to Romeo?I fear it is: and yet, methinks, it should not,For he hath still been tried a hol y man …These are only a few examples of foreshadowing in Romeo and Juliet.、。
罗密欧与朱丽叶读后感英文版
罗密欧与朱丽叶读后感英文版导语:罗密欧与朱丽叶读后感英文版Shakespeare shows his dramatic skill freely in Romeo and Juliet, providing intense moments of shift between comedy and tragedy. Before Mercutio's death in Act three, the play is largely a comedy. After his accidental demise, the play suddenly becomes very serious and takes on more of a tragic tone. Still, the fact that Romeo is banished, rather than executed, offers a hope that things will work out. When Friar Lawrence offers Juliet a plan to reunite her with Romeo the audience still has a reason to believe that all will end well. They are in a "breathless state of suspense" by the opening of the last scene in the tomb: If Romeo is delayed long enough for the Friar to arrive, he and Juliet may yet be saved. This only makes it all the more tragic when everything falls apart in the end.Shakespeare also uses subplots to offer a clearer view of the actions of the main characters, and provide an axis around which the main plot turns. For example, when the play begins, Romeo is in love with Rosaline, who has refused all of his advances. Romeo's infatuation with her stands in obvious contrast to his later love for Juliet. This provides a comparison through which the audience can see the seriousness of Romeo and Juliet's love and marriage. Paris' love for Juliet also sets up a contrast between Juliet's feelings for him and her feelings for Romeo.The formal language she uses around Paris, as well as the way she talks about him to her Nurse, show that her feelings clearly lie with Romeo. Beyond this, the sub-plot of the Montague-Capulet feud overarches the whole play, providing an atmosphere of hate that is the main contributor to the play's tragic end.Shakespeare uses a large variety of poetic forms throughout the play. He begins with a 14-line prologue in the form of a Shakespearean sonnet, spoken by a Chorus. Most of Romeo and Juliet is, however, written in blank verse, and much of it in strict iambic pentameter, with less rhythmic variation than in most of Shakespeare's later plays. In choosing forms, Shakespeare matches the poetry to the character who uses it. Friar Lawrence, for example, uses sermon and sententiae forms, and the Nurse uses a unique blank verse form that closely matches colloquial speech. Each of these forms is also moulded and matched to the emotion of the scene the character occupies. For example, when Romeo talks about Rosaline earlier in the play, he uses the Petrarchan sonnet form. Petrarchan sonnets were often used by men at the time to exaggerate the beauty of women who were impossible for them to attain, as in Romeo's situation with Rosaline. This sonnet form is also used by Lady Capulet to describe Count Paris to Juliet as a handsome man. When Romeo and Juliet meet, the poetic form changes from the Petrarchan （which was becoming archaic in Shakespeare's day）to a then more contemporary sonnet form, using"pilgrims" and "saints" as metaphors. Finally, when the two meet on the balcony, Romeo attempts to use the sonnet form to pledge his love, but Juliet breaks it by saying "Dost thou love me?" By doing this, she searches for true expression, rather than a poetic exaggeration of their love. Juliet uses monosyllabic words with Romeo, but uses formal language with Paris. Other forms in the play include an epithalamium by Juliet, a rhapsody in Mercutio's Queen Mab speech, and an elegy by Paris. Shakespeare saves his prose style most often for the common people in the play, though at times for other characters, such as Mercutio.。

William Shakespeare1. Works: 154 sonnets, 38 plays, 2 long poemsComedy :Merchant of Venice.2. 4 great tragedies: Hamlet, Othello, King Lear, MacbethEach portrays some noble hero, who face the injustice of human fate is closely connected with the fate of the whole nation, each hero has his weakness of nature. Hamlet, the melancholic scholar-prince, faces the dilemma between action and mind: Othello’s i nner weakness is made use of by the outside evil force; the old King Lear who is unwilling to totally give up his power makes himself suffer, from treachery and infidelity; Macbeth’s lust for power stirs up his ambition and leads him to incessant crime.3 Merchant of VeniceIn this play, Shakespeare has created tension: ambiguity, a self conscious and self-delighting artifice that is at once intellectually existing and emotionally engaging . The sophistication derives in part from the play between high, outstanding romance and dark faces of negating and hate the traditional theme of the play is to praise the friendship between Antonio and Bassanio, to idealize Portia as a heroine of great beauty , wit and loyalty, and to explore insuitable greed and brutality of the Jew.4 Hamlet.The play has the qualities of a “blood-and-thunder” thriller and a philosophical exploration of life of life and death, the timeless appeal of his mighty drama lies in its combination of injustice, emotional conflict and searching philosophic melancholy. Hamlet is obliged to inhabit a shadow world , to live suspended between fact and fiction, language and action. His life is one of the constant role-playing examining the nature of acting only to deny its possibility. For such a figure, soliloquy is a natural medium, a necessary release of his anguish; and some of his questioning monologue posses surpassing power and insight. By revealing the power-seeking, the jostling for place , the hidden motives, the courteous superficialities that veil lust and guilty, Shakespeare condemns the hypocrisy and treachery and general religious corrupting at the royal count.A. 创作生涯及作品a. Apprenticeship period.b. Highly individualized period.c. Greatest tragedies and dark comedies period. d. Romantic tragicomedies period.B. 作品主题a. Shakespeare’s history plays are mainly written under the principle that national unity under a mighty and just sovereign is a necessity.b. In his romantic comedies, Shakespeare takes an optimistic attitude toward love and youth, and the romantic elements are brought into full play .c. The tragedies: The play, though a tragedy, is permeated with optimistic spirit.C. 四大悲剧(常考)A). The common features:Shakespeare’s greatest tragedies are: Hamlet, Othello, King Lea r, and Macbeth. They have some characteristics in common. Each portrays some noble hero, who faces the injustice of human life and is caught in a difficult situation and whose fate is closely connected with the fate of the whole nation.B). The realistic spirits .Along with the portrayal of the weakness or bias of the hero, we see the sharp conflicts between the individual and the evil force in the society, which shows that Shakespeare is a great realist in the true sense.D. 艺术成就A). The characters:a. Shakespeare’s major characters are neither merely individual ones nor type ones.b. By applying a psycho-analytical approach, Shakespeare succeeds in exploring the characters’ inner mind.c. Shakespeare also portrays his characters in pairs. Contrasts are frequently used to bring vividness to his characters.B). Construction:a. Shakespeare’s plays are well-known for their adroit plot construction. He borrows them from some old plays or storybooks, or from ancient Greek and Roman sources.b. He would shorten the time and intensify the story. There are usually several threads running through the play.C). Language and style:a. Irony is a good means of dramatic presentation. Disguise is also an important device to create dramatic irony, usually with woman disguised as man.b. He has an amazing wealth of vocabulary and idiom. His influence on later writers is immeasurable. Almost all English writers after him have been influenced by him either in artistic point of view, in literary form or in language.Language of ShakespeareIt could even be argued that Shakespeare invented a large part of the English language, and helped to amplify and develop its major qualities: its flexibility and potential for concrete imagery. There are innumerable expressions which have passed directly from Shakespeare's plays into everyday language. Here are just a few examples drawn from Hamlet.There’s something rotten in the state of DenmarkNot a mouse stirringFrailty, thy name is womanMore matter, with less artHold the mirror up to nature.Shakespeare breaks with all of the rigid principles of the past; for him the world is not fixed, it changes constantly and language can only be the faithful reflection of all these transformations. His language is therefore characterised above all by its flexibility; it adapts itself to every circumstance and reflects every thought and emotion of the characters, from the most lofty to the most everyday. Nor does Shakespeare hesitate to pass from verse to prose, from an ultra literary language to one of the greatest vulgarity, often within the language of a single character and even within the same speech. This is particularly true of Hamlet, see for example the soliloquies and the sexual wordplay, puns and innuendoes.Shakespeare’s inventiveness: of all the authors in the English language he is without doubt the one with the most extensive and richest vocabulary. He draws from all areas of language and from all registers. Nevertheless his language always has the tone and pace of the spoken word. Shakespeare never forgot that he was first of all a man of the theatre and that what he wrote on paper was to be spoken. From this arise unforgettable sound combinations; there are in the soliloquies of Hamlet passages which delight the ear. There are also miracles of simplicity and power: Descartes’ ‘I think, therefore I am’ convinces us; ‘To be or not to be, that is the question’ moves us.The world of Shakespeare is the world transformed into images and metaphors; an object becomes a word which turns it into an idea or an emotion. There are also double meanings, puns and wordplay, at times ironic, often obscene, always witty, even in the greatest tragedies.Shakespeare has survived all the ages: rooted in the Renaissance he survived the Enlightenment, Romanticism, realism, the Industrial Revolution; he has adapted to the computer age and is spreading throughout the Web. He endures, he is indestructible. He speaks to everyone; for some he is a Marxist, for others a misogynist; some say he is close to what we would nowadays call the far right, etc. Perhaps he has none of these characteristics, perhaps he is all these things at once, as we all are. He has wonderfully anticipated all the schools of psychology of the 19th and 20th centuries. He knows human nature, consequently he knows us, and consequently we recognise ourselves in his characters.Themes of Romeo and JulietHow does Romeo and Juliet apply to teenagers today?
