图书简介
Bantam Classics's "Four Tragedies" is the quintessential Shakespearean collection for theatergoers and literature enthusiasts alike. This book contains four of the Bard's greatest and most powerful plays: "Hamlet", "Othello", "King Lear", and "Macbeth". Each play in this collection tells a unique and compelling story of love, betrayal, ambition, and revenge. "Hamlet" is the age-old tale of a young prince who must avenge his father's murder while also reconciling his own inner demons. "Othello" focuses on the relationships of a doomed marriage between Desdemona and Othello, and the tremendous tension that culminates in one of the most moving scenes in theatrical history. "King Lear" shows the tragic consequences of a king who foolishly divides his kingdom and estranges himself from his youngest and most loyal daughter. Finally, "Macbeth" delves into the mind of a murderer and showcases the consequences of ambition and power. With clear, modernized spelling and punctuation, Bantam Classics's Four Tragedies is a primer for all readers seeking to understand Shakespeare's greatest works.
