摘要
莎士比亚亲历了英国王权由极盛转向极衰的过程,当亨利八世登上权力顶峰的时候,已经为后来王室与国会的冲突埋下了种子。莎士比亚的创作始终没有脱离这样一个典型环境,他的作品深刻地反映了当时的社会现实,堪称一幅历史与社会的画卷。
William Shakespeare witnessed the rise and fall of the British Monarchy against the background of the climax of King Henry Ⅷ as seeds of conflicts between the royal family and parliament. His works were not detached from such an atmosphere and thus are a mirror of history and society.
