Introduction
William Shakespeare was born on the 23rd of April, 1564, in Stratford-on Avon, Warwickshire. He is one of those rare geniuses of mankind who have become landmarks in the history of world culture. Meanwhile the works of William Shakespeare are a great landmark in the history of world literature. During the 22 years of his literary work he produced 37 plays, 2 narrative poems and 154 sonnets. But tragedies, especially the four great tragedies, stand for his greatest contribution.
The disposition flaw in Hamlet which Shakespeare processes is over the perfect moral principle. In Othello, Othello always trusts others. But just this nobility and innocence make him guilty. King Lear’s biggest weakness is that he can’t distinguish what is the false flattery and what is the faithful emotion and sentiment. Macbeth describes that how an ambition makes somebody become a criminal from a famous minister and ends with an evil monarch. It reflects the awful result of the excessive and continuous ambition for people deeply.
All in all, through analyzing the heroes’ characters, living background and their fate, this article tells people how to choose when they are facing sufferings and ridicule of life. And from them we can find the principle of doing something and wisdom of living. So when something very important happens, one can face it and deal with it more severely, one can shoulder the burden of life more easily. I believe people can learn more from good tragedy works.

作者点评:剖析莎士比亚以四大悲剧为代表的悲剧世界 - Conclusion
No wonder that Shakespeare’s works are so fondly cherished by the greatest minds of mankind and among them by Karl Marx, who regarded Shakespeare as one of the “two greatest dramatic geniuses the world has ever known”, the other one is Aeschylus.
The most profound theory in the classicalism is about that of human nature, and it presents barely in Shakespeare’s four great tragedies-various tragedies occurred in the lives caused by some character flows without being treating, constantly accumulated oneself and finally lead to the horrible end .
Although in Shakespesre’s each tragedy finally all evil will be requited with evil, but all heroes’ weakness is totally unable to resist evil. The effect of each tragedy is inevitable. After reading these, we feel only sad? It’s not the truth. When one has to consider the problem of life or death, it’s time for him to wake. When one’s idealized knowledge to life is crushed before reality, he begins to know the suffering of living, the nonsense of life and the tragedy. Then he starts to face his future. This is a severe question for everyone and an unavoidable question for everyone during growing. I think maybe this is the true meaning of Shakespeare’s tragedy world based on the four great tragedies.
