Er schreibt : "Shakespeare obviously revealed his own political views in his history plays. He was against feudal separation, tyrants, and civil war. He was for centralization of power, national unity, and a just king. He hated the conflicts between the monarch and nobles because they brought disaster to the country. He noticed the significant power of the bourgeois and the working people (especially the towns’ people). He exposed, although in a limited way ; the oppression and exploitation of aristocrats against the people (including the bourgeois). He applauded patriotism and criticized the unscrupulous pursuit of personal interest. His attitudes were from the middle class viewpoint, but also often reflected the voice of the working people. One thing is worthy of special note : he criticized the ugliness of the bourgeois class. This fact reflected the progressiveness of Shakespeare and his standing on the same ground as the common people."
