Synopsis

Ray Moore’s Study Guides aim to provide insights into important, demanding texts.

This revised and expanded second edition will support the reader in developing his/her own thoughts and ideas about what is often regarded as Shakespeare’s greatest tragedy.
Unlike other guides which simply tell the reader what the text is about, the key feature of this book is the guiding questions to which the student needs to find his/her own answers.
The author is aware of the continual complaints from examiners that students are simply repeating what they have been told or have read about the play rather than developing their own opinions and supporting them with reference to the text.

Includes:

• A detailed analysis of characters, setting and history, genre and themes;
• A scene-by-scene commentary, with helpful explanatory notes and guiding questions that suggest issues for further discussion and thought;.
• Graphic organizers that allow the reader to make concise notes;
• A glossary of relevant literary terms and a literary terms activity;
• Ideas for managing group discussions and post-reading presentations;
• Suggestions for further reading.
