During this period, Shakespeare had seen that the ideals of humanism could not be realized in the real world, so he switched from writing tragedies to writing legends, from exposing the darkness that criticized the real society to writing dream worlds. Therefore, this period is also called the period of Shakespeare's legendary drama. His works often used mythical fantasy and supernatural power to resolve the contradiction between ideals and reality; the work runs through the spirit of forgiveness and reconciliation. Beautiful life fantasy, strong romantic mood. "Storm" (1611) best represents the style of this period and is called "the will written in poetry". In addition, he also wrote three legendary dramas such as "Xin Bailin" and "Winter Story" and the historical drama "Henry VIII".
