汤显祖和莎士比亚,同一历史时期出现的两位剧作大师,各自屹立在东西方文化的大地上。他们的作品也鲜明体现出各自的文化特色,对人生存状态的关怀一直贯穿始终,而这种关怀所表现出的情感就是悲天悯人。在他们的作品中,一种悲剧意识在氤氲、形成和消解,但其形式的不同又可以明显看出两种文化形态的差异。 Tang Xianzu and Shakespeare, the two great masters who appeared in the same historical period, stood each other on the earth of eastern and western cultures. Their works also vividly reflect their own cultural characteristics. Their concern for the state of existence of human beings has always been through, and the emotion shown by such kind of care is compassionate. In their works, a sense of tragedy is coveting, forming and dissolving. However, the differences between the two forms of culture can clearly be seen by their different forms.
