16、oman tragedy Titus Andronicus, which he followed a few years later with Romeo and Juliet. However, his most admired tragedies were written in a seven-year period between 1601 and 1608. These include his four major tragedies Hamlet, Othello, King Lear and Macbeth.As one of the most remarkable playwri

17、ghts in the world, William Shakespeare was greatly influenced by British traditional literature and culture, which partly originated from ancient Greek and Roman culture. He got inspiration from the European legends and historical stories. And the epics, myths of ancient Greece and Roman, the worshi

18、p of heroes in the tragedy and even the sublime aesthetic style functioned as significant elements which affected Shakespeares dramatic creation. In Aristotles theory, a tragedy aims at purgatory through arousing pity and fear. Pity is aroused by unmerited misfortune of people like ourselves. As for

19、 Shakespeare, it is no doubt that he successfully aroused the readers pity and fear through the miserable lives of the characters in his tragedies and he presented “pity and fear” to the extreme limit.However, what makes Shakespeare a great giant in drama is not how he inherited from the Greek trage

20、dy but how he further developed it.The Greek tragedy creates a series of gods and mankind who have lofty ideals of self-sacrifice for mankind and justice, but at last they are overwhelmed by the irresistible fate. These heroes, shining with the halo of “god”, are out of our reach. Shakespeare shifte

21、d the heroes from gods to the men with high social status, kings, princes and generals. These men are noble, aristocratic, but live in the real life. Although different from ordinary people, their ideas and actions can be understood and accepted more easily. This may be regarded as the reflection of

22、 Renaissance.In Greek tragedy, fate is the central cause of tragedy. The heroes fail to defeat the powerful fate and are engulfed by it. J. W. Goethe pointed out that the ancient tragedies were based on the inevitable fate. However, Shakespeares tragedy can be described as stories of exceptional suf

23、fering and calamity, leading to the death of a dominant figure of high social standing. Every hero or heroine in Shakespeares tragedy has an imperfect character which his or her fall from honor and happiness is due to. Once the weakness takes the dominant place, it shows the irresistible and destruc

24、tive power, under the control of which the hero is pulled down from high status and he is destined to fail. For example, the excessive pride of Faustus, the overweening ambition of Macbeth, and the uncontrolled jealousy of Othello all attest that fate is determined by character. In this sense, Greek

25、 tragedy is the tragedy of fate, whereas Shakespeares is the tragedy of flawed character.Speaking PracticeGive an oral presentation on the summary of the main points of the listening passage.For your referenceThe key points: Shakespeare and his writing of tragediesinfluence to Shakespeares writingwh
