Death of a Salesman

Cover of Notes on Shakespeare's "All's Well That Ends Well" and "Merry Wives of Windsor"
Here is one of Shakespeare's problematic plays and his most farcical. The arc of love's victory in "All's Well That Ends Well" doesn't compel an audience's compassion, yet it is still a skillfully written play. "The Merry Wives of Windsor" has been criticized for having been written in 14 days, yet it brims with wit and features a new tale of Falstaff, one of literature's greatest characters.

Cover of Notes on Herbert's "Dune" and Other Works

Cover of Notes on Skinner's "Walden Two"

Cover of Notes on Twain's "Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court"

As the protagonist of a fanciful, delightful story that can be read either as pure entertainment or for social criticism, Twain's Yankee is a simple American folk character that confronts nobility and knighthood. It is also a satire on nostalgia.

This concise supplement to Mark Twain's "A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court" helps students understand the overall structure of the novel, actions and motivations of the characters, and the social and cultural perspectives of the author.

Cover of Notes on Moliere's "Tartuffe", "Misanthrope" and "Bourgeois Gentilhomme"
In "Tartuffe, " a witty 17th-century French comedy, a religious hypocrite almost succeeds in his plot to jail a naive friend and his family and thereby get the title to their home. "The Misanthrope" centers on a man who decides to speak and act with complete honesty, despite the fact that society has its hypocritical aspects. Love enters the picture, and the results are funny and filled with disillusionment. Moliere's play "The Bourgeois Gentleman" tells us about a boring, unimaginative, and newly wealthy man who decides that he will become a first-class gentleman. Many comic episodes ensue before the final disappointment.

Cover of Notes on Dostoevsky's "Notes from the Underground"
"I am a sick man . . . I am a spiteful man," the irascible voice of a nameless narrator cries out. And so, from underground, emerge the passionate confessions of a suffering man; the brutal self-examination of a tormented soul; the bristling scorn and iconoclasm of alienated individual who has become one of the greatest antiheroes in all literature. "Notes From Underground," published in 1864, marks a turning point in Dostoevsky's writing: it announces the moral political, and social ideas he will treat on a monumental scale in "Crime And Punishment," "The Idiot," and "The Brothers Karamazov."
