Hamlet Study Guide for GCSE

The resource includes comprehensive notes on every important aspect of Hamlet to meet GCSE English Literature Assessment Objective requirements and much more! Activities and additional features throughout also help engage students with the content and get them exploring the text independently.

Comprehensively covers:
  1. Every chapter/scene and key character
  2. The author’s choices of language, structure and form across the text as a whole and how these choices affect the reader
  3. Key ideas, themes and settings across the text and why they are important
  4. Key historical, cultural and social contextual points and how they influence the text
  5. How to approach the English Literature exam and general essay advice
  6. Key literary terms

Includes original illustrations!

Pitched cleverly towards GCSE students. The educational value of this resource is considerable as the writer provides a complete guide to responding to the Assessment Objectives. M Harris, English Teacher & Independent Reviewer
