domestic tragedy is so interesting, and so haunting as a form of tragedy as opposed to something like macbeth or king lear.

This tragic tale by a young up-and-comer has much to recommend it by way of fluid and evocative language. But if this writer hopes to make any lasting impact, he'll have to try a little harder when it comes to his two-dimensional and rather dated characterizations of women; his improbably convoluted plot lines; and his penchant for bloody denouement. Could have been far worse, though.

At the start, I thought I'd be uncomfortable or embarrassed by the race issue, so I was entirely surprised when I was just so agonized by the psychological horror. Shakespeare has made me feel many different emotions but I did not expect fear to be one of them.

This is just a quick version of the play. Yes, it uses Shakespeare's language, but a lot is cut out of it. It does give you most of the general idea of what's going on though, and the illustrations are attractive enough. Not outstanding, but they let you see what's going on in the play which is so much more helpful than only reading the sometimes difficult to understand dialogue. I think it took me like a half hour to read or so. It definitely can't replace the play itself, but it's a good introduction I guess you could say.
