At last. Shakespeare study notes that are really authoritative, accurate and enthusiastic. This new edition of Cliff's notes on Macbeth is outstanding. There are all the usual things that would be expected in notes of this type, but added to this is a real sensitivity in the appreciation of the language, and also an awareness of Macbeth as a play to be performed. it is perhaps this sensitivity that sets these notes apart. The author communicates a passion for the play by opening it up to everyone in the excellent scene-by-scene analysis. shakespare has never seemed so accessible, relevant and exciting. The suggested tasks are particulalrly inventive- a useful tool for teachers and students.

These notes are very good,don't get me wrong, but time after time they bypass the blatant, creating only more work for the owner. But, they are very observant and get every ironic word to a tee, never failing to notice something.

another success story from reading the book and reading the highlights of the cliff notes to know what to focus on ...

If you are in a hurry to complete your report, it will help you so. But don't forget to read the entire book as soon as you can.
