莎士比亚对文艺复兴的人文理性进行了怀疑与反思,产生了悲剧内涵中形而上的绝望感,这种绝望感同时体现在对上帝救赎的怀疑上。“哈姆莱特之谜”暗示了对理性的否定;李尔王、麦克白身上的厌世情绪进一步加深,充分显示出上帝缺席时的虚无感,悲剧的绝望达到顶峰;《雅典的泰门》则体现莎士比亚对自己的绝望所做的最后一次拯救。

The paper illustrates that William Shakespeare feels skeptical about humanistic rationality of the Renaissance,which leads to a sense of despair in the characters in his masterpieces of tragedies.Meanwhile,such a sense of despair also reflects the dramatist's doubt about the God as the Savior.Among other things,"The Hamlet' Puzzle" implies a negation of rationality;King Lear and Macbeth show greater feelings of world-weariness.In the latter two tragedies,the sense of despair in the protagonists reaches the summit.In Timon of Athens,the author makes his last attempt to save his own sense of despair.
