《莎士比亚悲剧集》"莎翁悲剧集：悲惨结局不是终点"

William Shakespeare, an important figure in British literary history, was a playwright and poet during the English Renaissance period whose words and ideas continue to influence many aspects of modern literature today.

The Shakespeare Tragedies Collection is another masterpiece of the Post-wave Literature Illustrated Collection, covering Shakespeares most famous tragic works, including the four great tragedies: Hamlet, Othello, King Lear, and Macbeth, as well as the famous Romeo and Juliet.

During the Elizabethan era, "tragedy" was defined as a "sublime" drama that showcased "great characters" being caught up in "sad" actions that "started smoothly and ended sadly". Whether judged by this standard or other standards, the selected plays in this collection are considered the core works of Shakespearean tragedy.

The love-hate relationship of Romeo and Juliet, one of the worlds most famous love stories, has been recounted, performed, and adapted countless times since the play was created. Despite this, performances at theaters are always sold out. The story tells of the young lovers Romeo and Juliet from two warring families who fall in love at first sight, but their love is doomed to fail, and they ultimately die together. If the story was just about their miserable love, it wouldnt have been so enduring. The core value of this story is timeless, advocating against feudalism, and promoting freedom, equality, free love, and marriage, even centuries later, it remains a topic that people care about.

The tragic protagonists in Shakespeares plays are often trapped by external factors, and they are unable to do what they want to do in their historical context. They attempt to break free from the shackles of convention but repeatedly fail and end up feeling hopeless, then dying.

Shakespeare uses rhythmic, beautiful, and powerful language to write these stories, attempting to make people understand that humans need to become, are worthy of becoming, and can become what they want to be, even if it conflicts strongly with their era, which inevitably leads to their tragic fate. Shakespeare believed that nothing can stop humanity from changing the world that produced these tragedies and, in the process, changing themselves to end these tragedies.

This illustrated collection of Shakespearean tragedies is beautifully designed with a hardcover embossed cover that sparkles like silver when it catches the light. The silver foil English and Mandarin book titles are on the top and bottom of the cover, and two different fonts are used to suit the characteristics of Chinese and English typography. 88 exquisite illustrations are scattered throughout the book, adding more visuals and story colors to the stories. Reading drama can be a difficult and challenging process, but having a collectible drama collection is a good remedy to enrich the reading experience, which can be placed on the shelf or picked up at any time.

Lastly, to conclude with a quote from Shakespeare, "A face full of laughter doesnt mean they have no sorrow, it means they have the ability to deal with it."
