Features: How brilliant, how humorous, how romantic; passionate, innocent, profound, worldly. Once shaped by Shakespeare's quill, it takes on a unique charm, unforgettable. In Shakespeare's view, human emotions and desires should be respected, and love, a privilege of humanity, should be highly praised as supreme. The direct result of love—sex—is also sacred and inviolable. It's hard to imagine that Shakespeare, centuries ago, would have such profound and enlightened attitudes and thoughts on the subject of sex. His discussions on sex are brilliant and highly responsible, which is why they naturally occupy a significant portion in this small book. It's worth mentioning that in his All's Well That Ends Well, the theme of "politics and sex" serves as an excellent example in both subject and content, embodying the modern sense. He didn’t need to imitate anyone or follow trends; his creations were original because he was always contemplating human behavior—in other words, humans were the very core of his reflections. Otherwise, he wouldn’t qualify as a representative of humanism.
