How can we forget Shakespeare when it comes to tragedy?

Shakespeare's four tragedies are very famous!

William Shakespeare

Born on the 4/23rd, he is an English writer whose influence has continued to this day, and has also influenced some later well-known writers, such as Dickens.

In addition to Romeo and Juliet, the most famous plays are the four most famous tragedies, namely, Hamlet, King Lear, Macbeth and Othello.

One of the well-known phrases to be or not to be that is a question comes from the play King Lear.

In addition to the drama, there is the famous 14-line poem, and the poems in this series are all 14 lines.

Sonnet 114

 Let me not to the marriage of true minds
Admit impediments. Love is not love
Which alters when it alteration finds,
Or bends with the remover to remove:
O no! it is an ever-fixed mark
That looks on tempests and is never shaken;
It is the star to every wandering bark,
Whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken
Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks
Within his bending sickle's compass come:
Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,
But bears it out even to the edge of doom.
If this be error and upon me proved,
I never writ, nor no man ever loved.

The above 14-line poem, the 116th, is a poem I have read. Although I have forgotten what the whole poem is about, I just remember that the biggest point is that Shakespeare was talking about his own views on love.

My take on Shakespeare:

To be honest, my opinion of Shakespeare is that I hate it and I am a little grateful. What kind of hatred is it?

Back then, I read his stuff, but I didn’t want to. As a foreign language major, I took literature classes for three years. The one who impressed me the most was this great Shakespeare. It wasn’t him who impressed me the most. The works, but the influence he brings to us!

If you are also in the Department of Foreign Languages, Shakespeare's works are required reading in literature courses. Our professors often say that if you have not read Shakespeare's works, don't say that you have read the Department of Foreign Languages.

Shakespeare's influence, like some famous poets in the East, such as Li Bai, Du Fu, etc., must be read in Chinese courses.

And Shakespeare is a must-read in the foreign language department. The 116th 14-line poem above is the poem taught in the textbook. I have to memorize it during the exam, but I am too lazy to memorize it, so I basically get no marks for memorizing it...

As for the thank you part

That is, his drama Romeo and Juliet is really well written, and it has become a well-known drama in modern households . It is also a drama I have always wanted to watch live, but unfortunately it has always Couldn't find an opportunity.

And another part of thanks is that because of the influence, it is unforgettable for me to write this article~
