莎士比亞最有名的四大悲劇之一《哈姆雷特》,創作于1601年,時值歐洲文藝復興運動進入晚期和英國伊麗莎白女王去世(1603年)前兩年,因而,《哈姆雷特》不僅體現了文藝復興的思想意識,而且反映了英國社會轉型時期的種種矛盾沖突。《哈姆雷特》的悲劇性包含了四個主要層次:第一個層次涉及謀殺君王,篡奪王位,進而謀害王子的政治悲劇成分。第二層次涉及代表著文明進步的正面人物同丑惡與罪惡展開斗爭的社會悲劇成分。第三層次涉及因盲目而卷入政治沖突而導致毀滅的家庭悲劇成分。第四層次涉及愛情被摧殘、被利用的愛情悲劇成分。
Thomas Hardy's final novel "Jude the Obscure" began as a serial publication on December 1894 before being published in book form the following year. It is the story of its titular character Jude Fawley, a young lower-class man with dreams of being a scholar, and his relationships with his wife, Arabella, and his free-spirited cousin, Sue Bridehead. The novel follows the life of Jude from his youth living in a village in southern England where he works in a bakery and studies Classical Greek and Latin in his spare time with hopes of one day becoming a scholar at Christminster, a fictional city modeled after Oxford. His dreams are dashed however when he becomes ensnared by deceit into marriage with Arabella Donn, a coarse and superficial girl. What follows is a classic and tragic tale that plays upon many themes, principally of which is the idea that one's ruinous downfall is the product of having lived a sinful life. Having been harshly criticized in its day for its scandalous portrayals, "Jude the Obscure" has since been recognized as one of Hardy's finest and most intricate works.
