Abstract: The first tetralogy of William Shakespeare is comprised of Henry Ⅵ （Part One， Two and Three） and Richard Ⅲ， the former of which is characterized by fourteen dramatic monologues in Shakespearean symbolic style. These meditation soliloquies contribute greatly to the development of the plot， shaping of the character， creation of the atmosphere and presentation of the theme. From the perspective of modern individual psychology， based on the misjudgment of “compensation” and the absence of “drive”， this paper reexamines those meditation soliloquies in Henry Ⅵ so as to explore the complex inner world of the weak and cowardly king and to illustrate the cause of his death and fall of the Lancaster ruling house. Therefore， an individual psychological interpretation of Shakespeares classic dramatic monologue is presented， and an individual psychological insight into selfunderstanding and selfimprovement for the ordinary person in modern society is proposed.
