虽然莎士比亚已故去三百七十九年,但他留给后人的剧本《李尔王》至今读来还具有很深的现实意义.《李尔王》一剧是舞台上演出最少且最不成功的一个剧本.然而从20世纪60年代以来,《李尔王》比《哈姆莱特》更受到东西方学者和评论家的注意.布拉德雷教授认为,从戏剧的角度来看,此剧的确有些瑕癖,但从另一方面来讲,它的想象效果是无与伦比的.因此他的结论是:“我认为《李尔王》是莎士比亚最伟大的成就,但不是他最好的剧本.”在我看来,《李尔王》一剧中最重要的恐怕还是莎士比亚传递给我们的道德信息. Although Shakespeare had gone to the last three hundred and seventy-nine years, he still has deep practical significance to his descendants of the King Lear so far. “King Lear” However, since the 1960s, King Lear has drawn more attention from both East and West scholars and critics than Hamlet, and Professor Bradley believes that from a drama perspective, The play does have some blemishes, but on the other hand, its imagination is incomparable, so he concludes: “I think King Lear is Shakespeare’s greatest achievement, but not his best play. ”In my opinion, the most important thing about the King Lear is probably the moral message Shakespeare has handed to us.
