An Inspector Calls - nineteenth century immorality Advantages: well written, good on social history, nice twist at the end, atmospheric Disadvantages: could be seen as a bit old fashioned, not relevant to modern life ...I'm not too sure because times have changed with regard to the class system in England but as a look back at social history and those authors who tried to change things by writing about them, this play is certainly an interesting one and human nature does n't change. ... janinbow 17.10.2009 · Read full review Ciao members have rated this review on average: helpful Review of An Inspector Calls - J.

Importance? To Whom? Advantages: Ideal for group reading, Disadvantages: background knowledge is almost essential A Woman Of No Importance was written in a time when women had little or no place in the world, politically. Lord Illingworth, a womanising politician demonstrates this through his tendancies to leave women 'fallen'. The tale of Rachel Arbuthnot, a single mother in the 1890s, trying to teach her son, Gerald, of the evils of the world has her life torn apart when Lord Illingworth throws the ultimate spanner into the ultimate works. Thus leaving the ... ...the themes of the play. A Woman Of No Importance is ideal more as a project rather than night-time reading as research on the late nineteenth century and on Wilde himself, is highly recommeneded in order to fully understand the deeper meanings of Wilde's work. Despite being written to be viewed by 19th century middle class women, the play still continues to entertain a wide variety of audiences, both as reading and as a play.

Much Ado About Nothing Advantages: its studied at GSCE english, so its important to read. Disadvantages: It can be hard to read because the language is shakepearian. Shakespeare’s romantic comedy Much Ado About Nothing could perhaps be interpreted as a comedy of errors; all the relationships have problems, and many mistakes are made along the way. Shakespeare uses characters with small parts to give the play a more interesting story line. For instance the minor character of Don John creates issues between Claudio and Hero, one of the main relationships in the play. But the relationship of Benedick and Beatrice ... ...language is very important in Much Ado About Nothing. I think that Shakespeare’s ingenious title is actually a play on words itself because the difficulty Benedick and Beatrice have in getting together is “much ado about nothing” because their problem isn’t that they don’t love each other, it’s that they both hold their dignity too high to be able to let one and other know how they truly feel. After their conversation when Benedick is masked, he ... sportscrazy-loz 16.11.2009 · Read full review Ciao members have rated this review on average: helpful Review of Much Ado About Nothing - William Shakespeare	Would you read it again?
