He Qixin : The most common issues contemporary Chinese critics focus upon in their discussions are : For what class did Shakespeare write ? What are the major themes Shakespeare selected for his plays ? How did Shakespeare develop representative characters in his plays ? For Chinese critics, Shakespeare's purpose in writing is the most significant focus of their study of Shakespeare's plays. One critic states this common concern when he says, "Only with an accurate understanding of Shakespeare's purpose of writing, are we able to form correct judgment upon his plays and make a clarifying analysis of their theme, plot, characterization and dramatik skill". What, then, is Shakespeare's purpose ? The conclusion, resulting from the analysis of the age of Shakespeare, is that "Shakespeare was molding and guiding public opinion for the rising bourgeois class".
