莎士比亚的创作深受基督教的影响。在探索人类命运的历程中,莎士比亚接受了基督教的善恶斗争这一基本观念。 善恶斗争情势的变化，决定了人类命运的不同处境。喜剧、悲剧和传奇剧，分别表现了莎士比亚对人类命运的不同思考。在喜剧中，善处于主宰地位，人类过着幸福的生活;悲剧时期，恶成为世界的主宰，人类处境悲惨;经过苦难的洗礼，到传奇剧时期，莎士比亚又恢复了对善的信心，希望人们奉行宽恕与和解的原则,从而为人类重新赢得幸福。基督教眼中的人类命运是一个从拥有乐园，到失乐园，再到乐园失而复得的过程。莎士比亚的思考与之颇为相似。 但是，两者的思想基础是根本不同的。莎士比亚的人类命运观建立在人文主义思想基础之上。他认为，人类的命运掌握在人类自己手中，而不是在上帝手中，幸福存在于世俗的世界中，而不是在什么天堂。作为一个杰出的伟大的作家，莎士比亚继承了基督教思想的精华部分——人道主义的精神。

Christianity has a great influence upon Shakespeare.In his thinking of the Destiny of Mankind，Shakespeare owes much to the concept of "Conflict between Good and Evil",Which is fundamental in Christianity. In Shakespearean comedies,Good is dominative，so mankind lives a hap-py life.During the tragic period,Evil is in command of the world,and human being has a tragic lot.In his romances,Shakespeare regains his faith for Good,and thinks one should pursue the principle of forgiveness and adopt a conciliatory attitude;By so doing,mankindean refind happiness. The concept is based on humanism,which is at all different Christianity,although they are quite similar in expression.However,Shake-speare does accept the essence of Christianity,humanitarianism.
