What is the meaning of Shakespeare's plays?

Stills skillfully integrate the most interesting and dramatic folk stories into the drama, making it natural with the whole plot, which is a common technique in Shakespeare's plays. For example, in the love between Bassanio and Bohemia, the courtship story from three boxes of gold, silver and lead was incorporated, named after the smart and beautiful Bohemia. Examples hidden in unpretentious lead bottles show that true love does not necessarily have a gorgeous appearance. In addition to the main story line, there are some double lines. For example, Shylock's own daughter fell in love with Lorenzo, a Christian youth, and they eloped resolutely to avoid her father's obstruction. The addition of these reasonable ingredients makes a hilarious comedy contain rich and profound contents.

It is worth noting that in Shakespeare's comedies, the characters are not conceptualized and simplified, but full of internal psychological contradictions and distinctive personalities, and even their unreasonable actions imply logical psychological motives. As for Shylock, the author did not condemn him from the standpoint of racism, but wrote the social reasons that caused the character's greed and revenge. As Shylock himself said, "Don't Jews have eyes? Don't Jews have hands ... You stab us, and we don't bleed? ..... You hurt us, shouldn't we take revenge? " However, the blind practice of blood for blood is also hated and condemned by Shakespeare. Therefore, he let Shylock's revenge end in failure, denied his attempt to base his pleasure on cruelty, and laughed at his attempt itself as a shame and vanity.

In terms of tragedy and comedy creation, Shakespeare showed extraordinary talent, which made these two drama genres end the depression since the Middle Ages, continued the glorious tradition of early European drama, namely ancient Greek and Roman drama, and developed and promoted it with his passionate artistic creativity, making it enter a mature and complete stage.
