Is Hamlet really mad or is the world mad? Is Othello merely gullible or is there something about his place in society that makes him vulnerable? Why can there be no happy ending to King Lear? In this radical approach to Shakespearean tragedy, Fintan OToole, Irelands foremost theater critic, shows how Shakespeares plays have been made unintelligible to modern students. OToole explains that the plays have been filtered through a series of ideas that have less to do with what Shakespeare actually wrote than with Victorian interpretations of the plots and characters. OToole challenges the traditional approach to the study of four key tragediesHamlet, Othello, King Lear, and Macbethand provides an entertaining appreciation of the dramatic qualities of each. This is a provocative and accessible guide for students, teachers, and anyone interested in gaining a fresh insight into the worlds greatest playwright.
