What do teachers say about this resource? (7517)

An excellent resource; it is detailed, and the writer is clearly knowledgeable. I liked ... the in-depth analysis... A very comprehensive guide for both teachers and students... Provides a lot of contextual detail, which is helpful... Would be really helpful as a study guide for students; it would help them be more independent as it is so comprehensive... The comments on language and genre are particularly good.

It is high quality, and the author clearly has a great deal of knowledge of the play. I liked the emphasis on criticism – it is refreshing to see [a resource] that makes it a focus! I also liked that the criticism was dealt with contextually – i.e. through time – this is a requirement of the mark scheme, but is actually really hard and time-consuming for a teacher/student to research from scratch as there is so much to look through!
