Customer Reviews

OK but needs some expansion
There was quite alot of stuff in here - but the way it was formed was a little difficult to read. The york notes on this are good. The film directed by Bob Komar, which is a contempoary re-working of the play on film - whihc gives an excellent insight into the grand narrative and a perfect teaching/study aid.

For students (A level)
This book offers a really useful and clear analysis of each scene. It was helpful for writing essays and finding different critical viewpoints. It gives an analysis of the key quotes and discusses characters, themes and other commentary. I would defiantly recommend it.
