of evil. Meanwhile, he doubts everything, including love. He hesitates, which makes him enter the tragedy. His tragedy shows the limitation of his thinking as a humanist. In that period, the power of enemy is very big. The beauty and the ugly are turned. The dream of humanist can’t be realized. The struggle of hero must end with grey luck. Hamlet’s tragedy is the time’s tragedy. The liberation and freedom Hamlet goes after are too heavy. The sad that dream can’t be realized makes him more sufferings. In addition, the limitation of Hamlet is also revealed by his far away from people. He just wants to change the society by himself. He just remains himself. Though Hamlet has great wisdom and enough reason, it’s unrealized to do one thing by his own power. Also in that society, nobody wins at last by oneself. Hamlet is also a person who believes destiny deeply. Until the last stage of his struggle, he still believes that there is a power which can decide someone to win or fail. He is tied by the old thought. So he hesitates, misses the opportunity and is passive. Hamlet, although a complex and unique character, clearly represents the tragic hero. Shakespeare wants to tell us that the real world is unreasonable, but he can’t solve the question. Because of the limitation of time and rank, the great of Hamlet is that he can reveal ugly exists in the world bravely, but not how to sweep these sins. The original power Hamlet represents is on the stage of childishness. They haven’t enough power to destroy evil. Maybe in the other words we can say that they are doomed to tragedy. B. Victim of Credulity－Othello Othello, a Moorish general of Venice, has promoted Cassio as his lieutenant; Iago, who was hoping for the promotion himself, makes plots against Cassio and Othello to exact revenge.

Othello believed Iago’s tricks, so that he killed his wife by his own hand. At last when he finds he has murdered his wife by mistake, he can’t face himself and stabs himself in front of Cassio and dies on Desdemona’s bed, beside her. Othello, due to his Moorish nature but at the same time morally white and untainted, can be considered grey with the opening of the play. His tragedy is caused by his naiveté at trusting people too easily. In this play, there is a character Iago who is contrary to Othello in nature. He is the embodiment of evil. He manipulates the development of the play and all the characters in the play and leads a sorry tragedy. Iago’s living gospel is “One who lives only for himself”. He takes every kind of measures to realize his benefit. Facially he is very good and honest. He just wants to get trust from Othello. His evil can’t be counted and can’t be ignored. Iago knows the weakness of Othello’s character. Othello is born with white and untainted. He doesn’t know he has trapped in other’s lie and injury. When Iago manipulates Othello, Othello unknowingly gives in to the temptation, even going as far as telling Iago "I am bound to thee for ever" (III. iii. 242). Othello at this point is completely taken in with Iago's mind poisoning and willingly submits to him, yielding to his trickeries. Inevitably with a little push from Iago, Othello slowly goes down the path of dark and pure blackness, with murder evident in mind. With Iago's tampering of his inner moralities, Othello turns
