The first half of the book covers themes such as the tragic hero, comic relief and the part of the fool, as well as more technical topics such as the structure of the plays and figures of speech, whilst the latter half contains study and examination materials, supplying copious context questions, character studies and inquiries into plot. The book also discusses the Modern and Elizabethan theatres and supplies a full list of Shakespeare's plays as well as recommendations for further reading. Intended as a reliable introduction to Shakespeare for students, this book will also be useful for Shakespearean scholars and scholars in cognate fields such as education and history.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003ePreface\u003cbr\u003e Part I.
