Book Description HTML

The play's prominence has earned it abundant attention from generations of critics. Its "distinctiveness" has been described as "a firestorm of theatrical tricks meant to indulge the erotic fantasies and jaded tastes of Jacobean audiences..," combined with a "philosophical drama...of substantive political and ideological concerns.The play constitutes a study of the consequences of royal intemperance in an absolute monarchy.

    I agree, very challenging to read. The world most of us know is one of opposites--hot and cold, sweet and sour, GOOD and EVIL. It was tough for me to grasp the concept of something other than living in a world where there is something "neutral", neither good nor evil. Written from a very secular, relativistic viewpoint.

    Challenging read... keep a dictionary handy. Very unusual and interesting perspective.

    One of the kind, I hope people read this book more often to open their eyes to one of the biggest problems of altruism and religion.
