Contents Contents William Shakespeare’s life 2. Shakespeare’s literary career The first period (1)optimism prevails in most of the works, which include histories, comedies, and poems. In them, he portrayed young people just freed from feudal fetters. He sang of their youth, love and ideals of happiness. (2).The victory of their humanist ideal is inevitable, though it is to be attained only after severe struggle against all obstacles. The second period Shakespeare’s optimism wanes and a strong touch of pessimism marks most of the works, which reveal the society to be an evil one. The famous four tragedies are all completed in this period. The third period is from 1609 to 1612. During this period, there is a /prevalent （普遍地）Christian teaching of atonement（赎罪）. Shakespeare seems to have entered an imagined pastoral world. So he could achieve what he failed to do in the real world, i.e. to right the wrongs and to realize his ideals. Shakespeare wrote 37 plays,154 sonnets and 2 long poems. He had established his giant position and became one of the most remarkable playwrights and poets in the world.
