Five Great Tragedies
Romeo and Juliet, Hamlet, Othello, King Lear and Macbeth
by William Shakespeare
'Not for an age but for all time'- So Ben Jonson established what we now take for granted: Shakespeare's unique place among the world's great authors. Romeo and Juliet shows us the archetypal story of fated young love; flamlet, the tortured psyche of the young prince of Denmark; Othello, a strikingly modern representation of racial difference; King [ear. a man stripped of all material and psychological comforts; and Macbeth, a dark investigation of the origins and effects of evil. The plays throw a fascinating light on the concerns of Shakespeare's day, yet offer perennial insights into the nature of human emotion.
