Annotation: This article explores the linguistic and artistic means through which William Shakespeare conveys psychologism — the deep representation of human inner states, emotions, and mental conflicts. Using examples from his major tragedies such as Hamlet, Macbeth, and Othello, the study examines how Shakespeare employs dramatic monologue, metaphor, and contrast to reveal the subconscious motives of his characters. The research is grounded in linguistic stylistics and psychoanalytic criticism, aiming to show that Shakespeare’s language operates as a medium of psychological depth rather than mere narrative. The findings demonstrate that his innovative use of imagery, irony, and soliloquy anticipates modern psychological realism.

Keywords: psychologism, Shakespeare, stylistics, inner speech, soliloquy, emotion, character analysis, dramatic discourse.
