Typical examination style questions from the four major UK boards (AQA, EDUQAS, EDEXCEL, OCR) are presented at the end to engage the reader in searching out the relevant information in the book necessary to provide a top grade answer. This book is a must for students who desire to understand and to get to grip with one of Shakespeare’s most popular plays.
