The main research will focus on the works of the Renaissance and the thoughts of the Humanists. In this work, we will have the discussion of the definition of the perfect society and human qualities in the age of the renaissance, and we will select some works from William Shakespeare and Dante Alighieri and try to find their expectations of the new society and their idea about what quality a man should have. Meanwhile, the research will also quote the words from other works of the age of the Renaissance, and some folktales will also be discussed to analyze the citizens' attitude towards society. At the end of the paper, Hedonism and Asceticism will also be discussed. The main tools that will be used in this research will be book manuscripts and historical and sociological analysis. This study will be mainly based on the original text of the author’s book. This work will interpret my thoughts through these masterpieces, and we will have a conclusion of what is the perfect society in their eyes. They also discuss whether their ideas have any real-world implications. (Some of the ideas in the following article have not been fully demonstrated. Please ignore and forgive if there is any offense.)
