Passage.1

Every age,after his own,has.gone insearch of Shakespeare.The firstbiography was written in 1709. Now it is a poor year for the Shakespearebusiness when two or three more do not show up on bookstore shelves. Wewant to know who he was hoping that the narrative of his life will somehowexplain the genius of his writing. But it never does. We find him but whowe find only adds to the mystery. How is it that a man without a universityeducation,a glover's son from a small Warwickshire market town，couldhave written the plays and poems that have spoken to generations of readersand theatergoers ?

Passage 2

Stratford.Shakespeare's hometown，has become an almost sacred placeof pilgrimage，with tourists waddling reverently around the spectacularlytasteless cathedral ofthe Shakespeare Memorial Theatre. Animpressionable few of them are even moved to doff their caps or discardtheir ice creams.Shakespeare's familiar high-domed head, an image thatis quite possibly not him at all，has adorned everything from TV beercommercials to British currency. He is the presiding genius of thenational spirit, a kind of hero in a neck ruff. Without him industrieswould crash and ideologies crumble. It is even rumored that he also wroteplays.

分析:Passagel 對Shakespeare 是正面的態(tài)度。而 Passage2對Shakespeare是負面的態(tài)度。從首句的tasteless cathedral就可以看出。整個P2比P1要難以看懂些。P2的每一句都是對Shakespeare的一個諷刺，不明白為什么去悼念他，諷刺整個經(jīng)濟對他的依賴，諷刺人們對關于他評論的盲從。
