Chapter I. William Shakespeare’s biography 1 W. Shakespeare’s life

CONCLUSION
In conclusion, we can say that despite the fact that in all Shakespeare's tragedies there is a sad end for readers, but this is the best end for the main characters. Their love for each other, faith and hope is a vivid example of optimism. The way they fought on the way to achieving happiness or obtaining parental permission, as in ROMEO AND JULIET, or to love so much and be jealous that you can kill for it, as in OTELLO. Having made a man the hero of a tragedy, Shakespeare first of all turned to the image of the greatest human feeling. If in "Titus Andronicus" the voice of love attraction, barely audible at the beginning of the play, was drowned out by the cries of inhuman hatred, then in "Romeo and Juliet" the poetry of love, which permeates the whole work, acquires an increasingly powerful sound as the finale of the tragedy approaches.; "The pathos of Shakespeare's drama "Romeo and Juliet",- V. G. Belinsky wrote in 1844, "the idea of love is formed," and therefore enthusiastic pathetic speeches flow from the lips of lovers in fiery waves, sparkling with the bright light of stars... This is the pathos of love, because in the lyrical monologues of Romeo and Juliet, not only admiring each other is visible, but also a solemn, proud, ecstatic recognition of love as a divine feeling." The problem of love as the most important ethical problem was brought to the fore by the ideology and art of the Renaissance. The fact that this problem worried Shakespeare throughout his work is evidenced by the comedies of the first period, and works created after 1599, and plays of the last period. However, Shakespeare's early works bear a special stamp that characterizes the means and ways of posing the problem of love in artistic terms. It is in these works that Shakespeare seems to strive, so to speak, for an aesthetic analysis of the problem of love in its purest form, without complicating it with such side ethical aspects as jealousy, social inequality, vanity, etc. Shakespeare's poems, written shortly before Romeo and Juliet, provide particularly illustrative material in this sense. In them, Shakespeare creates four - albeit unequal in artistic execution - paintings depicting various

variants of the relationship between a man and a woman. A brief analysis of thesepaintings can be carried out without taking into account the chronology of the publication of the poems, because it is quite obvious that during the creation of "Venus and Adonis" and "Dishonored Lucretia" the poet was guided by a single set of moral and ethical views.
