The Merchant of Venice - William Shakespeare:
... s customary for students to hate the books forced upon them but, whether it be me, this book or something else entirely, it is simply not so with the Merchant of Venice. I had never read Shakespeare prior to this book, except a quick, heavily simplified teaching of The Tempest at the beginning of secondary school; and yet, even so, I was captured from the first page: "In sooth, I know not why I am so sad"...

Mansfield Park - Jane Austen ... like many other young people have only read this Jane Austen novel as part of A-level studies. I love reading and am able to read anything from James Herbert to Shakespeare, so Jane Austen has never phased me at all. My main character, a female as in most of Jane Austen novels, is called Fanny Price and comes from a poor family so is sent to live with rich relatives on the estate of Mansfield Park.

She isn t strong willed or broad minded but quite the opposite. She sinks into the background an... Read the full review: Mansfield Park? Who gives a Fanny? by tinkerbella21 |

Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde - Robert Louis Stevenson ... tells us a lot about Victorian society in this book. The upper and middle classes were often superficial and hypocritical with regard to their morality. They thought it was acceptable behaviour to appear respectable on the surface, while at the same time dabbling in various forms of immoral behaviour. In the book, much of the clandestine behaviour occurs when it is foggy or dark, which helps to imply the hidden nature of their immoral behaviour. Poverty and squalor were part of everyday life for the lower classes in the cities of Victorian England. The poor were often desperate so turned to criminal activities. The upper classes thought of criminals as very dif... Read the full review: Jekyll and Hyde - a story with two sides by xxsupergirlxo |
