Bradley is a scholarly examination of key works by the renowned playwright William Shakespeare, likely written in the early 20th century. The text consists of a series of lectures that analyze the essence and structure of Shakespearean tragedy, focusing specifically on four of his most famous plays. The author delves into the nature of tragedy as presented by Shakespeare, discussing themes such as character, moral order, and the existential struggles faced by the protagonists. The opening of the book introduces Bradley's intent to explore the fundamental characteristics of Shakespearean tragedy without delving into the playwright’s biography or his position in literary history. The author emphasizes the significance of dramatic appreciation and understanding the internal workings of the plays to foster enjoyment and comprehension among readers. He outlines his approach, indicating that the lectures will not only highlight the distinctive tragic elements in plays such as "Hamlet," "Othello," "King Lear," and "Macbeth" but also provide insights into the actions and motivations of the central characters. Through this analytical lens, Bradley aims to enhance the reader's engagement with these iconic tragedies. (This is an automatically generated summary.) Reading ease score: 65.2 (8th & 9th grade).
