Shakespeare′s great tragedies are associated with a pe- riod of gloom and sorrow in his life . During this period, England witnessed a general unrest, social contradictions became very sharp . What caused the writer′s personal sad- ness is unknown to us . It is generally attributed to the po- litical misfortune of his friend and patron, Earl of Essex, who was killed by the Queen . His main tragedies are: “Hamlet”,“Othello”,“King Lear”, and“Macbeth”. All of these plays express a pro- found dissatisfaction with life . They show the struggle and conflicts between good and evil of the time, between jus- tice and injustice . In these plays, the writer Shakespeare condemns the dark and evil society . |
