【摘要】 古希腊神话是西方文明的摇篮，其影响渗透到西方文化的各个角落。神话中对人的本性的探索是其基本特征之一。莎士比亚作为文艺复兴时期最伟大的剧作家也深受其影响。在他的悲剧作品中，有其对希腊神话人本精神的继承，同时他对人性的理解又超越了希腊神话，闪烁着人文主义的光芒。本文分为五部分。前言部分介绍了希腊神话及莎士比亚四大悲剧中关于人性的体现。第一章分析了莎士比亚四大悲剧在人的自然本性上对希腊神话的继承与超越。第二章主要论述了莎士比亚四大悲剧在人的斗争精神上对希腊神话的继承与超越。第三章聚焦于人性与神性的统一。最后得出结论：莎士比亚四大悲剧不仅继承了古希腊神话中关于人性的探索，同时还呈现出人文主义的特征，使人性的理论得以进一步的升华。更多还原
