Who were the three great dramatists in the Renaissance?

They are william shakespeare of England, Tang Xianzu of China and Cervantes Saavedra of Spain.

1, the richness of William Shakespeare's drama plots has always been praised. Generally, two or more clues in his plays develop in parallel or alternately, some of which are distinct in primary and secondary, some of which complement each other and set off each other, which makes the characters, events and conflicts in the plays rich and complex and easy to achieve vivid dramatic effects.

2. Tang Xianzu has made many achievements, among which opera creation is the most important. His dramatic works, The Story of Rebirth, The Story of Purple Hairpin, The Story of Conan and The Story of Handan, are collectively called "Linchuan Four Dreams", among which The Story of Rebirth (Peony Pavilion) is his masterpiece.

Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra is regarded as the greatest writer in Spanish literature. His work Don Quixote reached the pinnacle of Spanish classical art, marking a new stage of European modern realistic novel creation.

The creative characteristics of the three great dramatists in the East and the West

1. At the beginning of his creation, william shakespeare was full of confidence in the realistic society and the future of humanistic ideals and beliefs, and the theme and content of his works were active and lively, full of optimism and clarity. It laid the foundation for the gradual formation of Shakespeare's humanistic thought and dramatic artistic style.

During this period, the basic themes of his historical dramas were supporting the central kingship, condemning feudal tyrants and praising enlightened monarchs. These dramas also reflected william shakespeare's humanistic thought from both positive and negative aspects.

2. Tang Xianzu has also made great achievements in drama criticism theory, expression and director. Through a lot of letters and comments on Dong Jieyuan's The West Chamber and Wang Yufeng's Burning Incense, he expressed his new views on drama creation.

3. Cervantes' plays always have a certain moral purpose, including some allegorical characters, and follow the integrity of Aristotle's plot, place and time step by step, while Vega breaks these laws.

Cervantes couldn't let go of his failure. He also expressed his dislike of the Vega-style new drama through Don Quixote, and vaguely felt that the dramatic characters in the book were full of dialogues and short plays between scenes.
