The expanded sections include:

Five Key Questions: Five frequently asked questions about major moments and characters in the play.

What Does the Ending Mean?: Is the ending sad, celebratory, ironic . . . or ambivalent?

Plot Analysis: What is the play about? How is the story told, and what are the main themes? Why do the characters behave as they do?

Study Questions: Questions that guide students as they study for a test or write a paper.

Quotes by Theme: Quotes organized by Shakespeare's main themes, such as love, death, tyranny, honor, and fate.

Quotes by Character: Quotes organized by the play's main characters, along with interpretations of their meaning.

WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE (1564-1616) wrote 37 plays. King Lear and Macbeth are widely considered his finest and most popular. They are, perhaps, the most frequently produced works on the planet.
