Covers sensitive topics and the political commentary is an interesting theme that runs throughout the book.

We are studying this for English and I find it really interesting. The ending was very intriguing too. The more and more in-depth you go with this book the deeper the effect it had on you. Each of the characters symbolises a different sin and it explores numerous themes and ideas. It is a very thought-provoking, easy-to-read book.

i just did my english lit gcse on this play, about 2 days ago now, and i’ve really enjoyed studying it. it’s so interesting and it’s something that’s so easy to read again and again and there are so many quotes in this play which really make you think. i remember finishing it in class for the first time and the ending made us all shocked haha. i feel like analysing the crap out of the text makes it more fun too, idk if that’s just me but i love picking a part pieces of books and annotating then with my thoughts/ the actual meaning behind it, i feel it gives so much more depth to a story. it’s so well written and thought out, it’s really amazing
