  | | PAPERBACK(Unabridged) by William Shakespeare, Dover Thrift Editions, 威廉•莎士比亚 Paperback, 96 Pages, Published 1993 by Dover Publications Unabridged ISBN-13: 978-0-486-27802-5, ISBN: 0-486-27802-6 "One of Shakespeare's greatest, but also bloodiest tragedies, was written around 1605 to 1606. Many have seen the story of Macbeth's murder and usurpation of the legitimate Scottish King Duncan as having obvious connection to contemporary issues regarding King James I (James VI of Scotland), and the Gunpowder Plot of 1605. King James was particularly fascinated with witchcraft, so the appearance of the witches chanting "Fair is foul, and ..." |
 | | Julius Caesar(Unabridged) (Dover Thrift Editions) by William Shakespeare, Dover Thrift Editions Paperback, 96 Pages, Published 1991 by Dover Publications Abridged, Unabridged ISBN-13: 978-0-486-26876-7, ISBN: 0-486-26876-4 " Based on Plutarch's account of the lives of Brutus, Julius Caesar, and Mark Antony, Julius Caesar was the first of Shakespeare's Roman history plays. Presented for the first time in 1599, the play reveals the great dramatist's consummate ability to explore and express the most profound human emotions and instincts. So clearly and urgently does it impact its insights into history and human behavior, Julius Caesar is traditionally among ..." |
 | | Complete Sonnets(Reprint) (Dover Thrift Editions) by William Shakespeare, Dover Thrift Editions, 威廉•莎士比亚 Paperback, 74 Pages, Published 1991 by Dover Publications Mobipocket_Ebook ISBN-13: 978-0-486-26686-2, ISBN: 0-486-26686-9 " Without a doubt the most important of Shakespeare's nondramatic works, the sonnets have engendered reams of scholarly disputation as to the identity of "the dark lady" and the "lovely boy" to whom the vast majority are addressed. Controversy has also long simmered over the full name of the "W.H." of the dedication. What is not in dispute is the superior quality of these lyrics, which rank among the finest sonnets ever written — in an ..." |

Though he has retained the common touch and sense of humor he showed as Falstaff's bosom buddy in the two parts of Henry IV, he has become fiercely focused. He punishes those who have plotted against him; in battle against the French, he shows himself an indomitable leader of men; and, at the end, he conquers even the heart of Catherine, the beauti ..." |

Othello is a "noble Moor", a North African Muslim who has converted to Christianity and is deemed one of the Venetian state's most reliable soldiers.

The Epilogue, spoken by Prospero, claims that "now my charms are all o'erthrown", appeared to reflect Shakespeare's own renunciation of his ..." |

And indeed, Elizabethan audiences recognized a "winter's tale" as a fanciful story, rendered all the more appealing by its very improbability. The Bard's version of this traditional entertainment is a charming romantic comedy, but with undertones of tragedy.Running an emotio ..." |

Hath not a Jew hands, organs, dimensions, senses, affections, passions?" Shylock's impassioned plea in the middle of The Merchant of Venice is one of its most dramatic moments.
