Er schreibt über Hamlet von William Shakespeare : "Hamlet intends to clarify the truth of his father's death. Yet he demonstrages his own weakness when he undertakes the task to avenge his father. He also realizes the contradiction between his duty for vengeance and his character and is baffled by the attitude of man toward this reversed world. All of these factors bring about his destruction the tragic protagonist clearly exhibits a complex ability to trandscend the simple division of good and evil, to transcend the provisional social institution or even to transcend culture itself. The presentation of the faithful ministers who fight with treacherous ministers has been based on the qualities of stability, patience, and preservation of Chinese culture. It aims to neither thoroughly examine the existing social system and ideology nor show a transcending spirit through the complexity of the protagonist. It is designed mainly to sacramentalize the existing system and ideology and to portray the characters by the simple division of good and evil. One cannot say that the classical Chinese playwrights do not see the serious problem in reality. But they always tend to reassure themselves and the people with conventionally political ideas and the strong rationalism of Chinese culture."
