"Hamlet", "Othello", "King Lear" and "Macbeth". Among them, "Hamlet" is regarded as the best tragedy in the world, and the protagonist Hamlet has become one of the most complex literary models. In his later years, Shakespeare turned to the creation of magical dramas, placing his hope in a utopian ideal world. His works include "Cymbeline" and "The Tempest". The artistic characteristics of Shakespeare's plays mainly lie in the perfect combination of vividness and richness of the plot. The characters are highly typical and have rich and colorful personality traits. The ideas of the work are naturally expressed through plot characters. Shakespeare was also a master of language. He absorbed the language of his people, as well as ancient and contemporary literary languages, and used them with ease. In the play, prose is sometimes used and sometimes poetry is used, without any rigidity. Many of his words are so popular that they have become part of the English language. Shakespeare was called "the soul of the times" by contemporary dramatists, and Marx also hailed Shakespeare as "the greatest dramatic genius."

Shakespeare died in 1616. What is interesting is that his birthday and death are both on April 23. Such a coincidence is extremely rare. The British people not only hold commemorative activities every year, but also hold a "Shakespeare Festival" every other year. Now, the "Shakespeare Festival" is not only popular in the UK, but also gradually transcends national borders, with similar events held in many countries.
