Why did Tolstoy curse Shakespeare?

George Orwell (1947), a British cattle writer and critic, pointed out in his article King Lear, Tolstoy and Making Man that Tolstoy had an essay about Shakespeare and drama, which sharply criticized Shakespeare's literary achievements. Tolstoy's attack on Shakespeare was explicit and vicious, and Shakespeare always aroused "a strong disgust and disgust" in his heart. In order to verify his hostile judgment on Shakespeare, Tolstoy repeatedly read various versions of Shakespeare's works in Russia, Britain and Germany, and the results were invariably "disgust, boredom and confusion". By the age of 75, Tolstoy had read all Shakespeare's works, including Shakespeare's historical plays. Toto, 75, continued to sharply criticize Shakespeare: "This time, my previous feelings are even stronger-there is no doubt, but I have an unshakable self-confidence, that is, I think Shakespeare's reputation as an undisputed great genius in the world is really a disaster!" Shakespeare would never have thought that Tolstoy, a great writer born three centuries later than him, would attack him like this. Tolstoy arrogantly believes that Shakespeare is not a genius, and even an ordinary writer is not worthy. Tolstoy took Shakespeare's King Lear as an example, hitting Shakespeare's heart directly. He thinks that every scene in King Lear is "stupid, wordy, blunt, vague, pretentious, vulgar and boring", full of absurd plots, crazy speculations, tasteless jokes, historical mistakes, contradictions, swearing words and stages. Tolstoy, if put now, is definitely a network villain full of evil thoughts, with vicious aggression of intellectual violence. Of course, this has nothing to do with whether he wrote War and Peace. I told many civilized women not to always look at the greatness of one's work. In fact, he may be a villain in his heart, drawing a long "landscape" between his character and his works, and everyone will do so! George Orwell thinks Tolstoy criticized Shakespeare with many unsubstantiated or dishonest arguments. I pointed out some of them, not to prove that his attacks are invalid, but to show that these attacks can really be said to be deliberate insult. Tolstoy has completely lost his ability to know the world in his later years. He just nervously regarded Shakespeare as his inherent threat. The more people get pleasure from Shakespeare's plays, the more he hates Shakespeare. He must try his best to discredit Shakespeare. He must enter the hearts of all Shakespeare lovers and kill the joy Shakespeare brings to people by all means he can think of. Above the belt belongs to the gods, below the belt belongs to the devil! King Lear's sharp curse is the best response to old Tolstoy.
