Exploring the Subplots of Shakespeare’s <i>King Lear</i>

莎士比亚在《李尔王》中运用了双情节的艺术手法，主要情节和次要情节相得益彰，互为交叉，生动地展现了剧中主角的心路变化历程，揭示了人们为他们的错误行为付出惨重代价以及应承担相应责任这一命题的普泛性，凸显了悲剧的意识形态背景，传承和拓展了伊丽莎白时代的戏剧艺术以及亚里士多德的悲剧理论，充分彰显了次要情节的艺术魅力，达到了当时戏剧创作的制高点。Shakespeare used the artistic technique of double plot in King Lear, in which the main plot and the secondary plot complement each other and cross each other, vividly showing the change of heart of the main characters in the play, revealing the universality of the proposition that people have to pay a heavy price for their wrongdoings and should bear the corresponding responsibility, highlighting the ideological background of the tragedy, inheriting and expanding the Elizabethan theater art and Aristotle’s tragedy theory, fully highlighting the artistic charm of the secondary plot, and reaching the high point of dramatic creation at that time.
