Oxford Reading Tree, Level 17, TreeTops Classics, Pack A
by William ShakespeareNo dramatist has ever seen with more frightening clarity into the heart and mind of a murderer than has Shakespeare in this compelling tragedy of evil. Taunted into asserting his "masculinity" by his ambitious wife, Macbeth chooses to embrace the Weird Sisters' prophecy and kill his king-and thus, seals his own doom. Fast-moving and bloody, this drama has the extraordinary energy that derives from a brilliant plot replete with treachery and murder, and from Shakespeare's compelling portrait of the ultimate battle between a mind and its own guilt.

Othello
by William ShakespeareThis is our best-selling York Notes Advanced title. This book will be packed with features to help the students improve their grade. Talking extensively to teachers, examiners and students there seems to be a need for more information outside what the students already know. Features like check the book, check the film and check the net will now offer students more opportunity to develop their researching skills and provide that extra information. More importantly there will be features that address the specific needs of students studying for the new AS and A2 exams. There will now be text boxes in the margin labelled 'Context' which will describe the literary, historical, cultural, religious, or philisophical context of specific references in the text (contextualisation is the new buzz word in the exam syllabuses). There will be at least 20 of these boxes in every book. The glossaries are now integrated in the text so that students don't need to turn the page to find out the meaning of a word. There will also be regular exam questions integrated in the text which will help students revise. Summaries will be cut down and bulleted where appropriate to make way for extra features (meaning extent remains the same) so that the books are now not only appropriate for students who buy the book to cram, they are also important for higher-level students who need more information to get themselves the top grade.

Othello
by William ShakespeareOthello loves his wife Desdemona, and the two live happily—at first. A spurned suitor of Desdemona's and Iago, an ambitious officer under Othello's command, plan to tear the couple apart out of revenge for perceived slights suffered at their hands.
Otelo
by William ShakespeareOtelo, el moro de Venecia es la única entre las grandes tragedias de Shakespeare que transcurre en el ámbito doméstico; no hay reinados en peligro, ni se derroca al soberano. Se trata de un estudio de los celos en el que el amor, la lujuria y el odio ocasionan la muerte de los protagonistas. Otelo, llevado por las maquinaciones de Yago, es el elemento disruptor que instala el caos en una Venecia que simboliza la razón, la ley y el orden. La crítica ha descripto con acierto al protagonista de esta tragedia como la figura más romántica de todos los héroes de Shakespeare, por su vida aventurera y sus batallas en lugares exóticos. Otelo parece provenir de Las Mil y Una Noches, no posee la imaginación especulativa de Hamlet, pero demuestra ser, en sus soliloquios, el mayor poeta del universo shakespeariano.

A Midsummer Night's Dream
by William ShakespearePerhaps the most popular of all of Shakespeare's comedies, A Midsummer Night's Dream humorously celebrates the vagaries of love. The approaching wedding festivities of Theseus, Duke of Athens, and his bride-to-be, Hippolyta, Queen of the Amazons, are delightfully crisscrossed with in-again, off-again romances of two young pairs of Athenian lovers; a fateful rivalry between the King and Queen of the Fairies; and the theatrical aspirations of a bumbling troupe of Athenian laborers. It all ends happily in wedding-night revelry complete with a play-within-a-play presented by the laborers to the ecstatic amusement of all. This edition, complete with explanatory footnotes, is reprinted from a standard British edition.
