3.0 out of 5 stars Spark, just enough to enlighten your understanding, 13 April 2009
By Budge Burgess (Kilmarnock, Scotland) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: Othello by William Shakespeare (Spark Notes Literature Guide) (Paperback)
"Spark Notes" is an American series 'created by Harvard students for students everywhere'. It offers a slightly different perspective on Shakespeare, so there are advantages and disadvantages for British 'A' level students. The Othello Spark Notes, for instance, present a major theme of the play as the incompatibility of military heroism and love - it would be more usual to look at the conflict between love and duty.

The Notes open with a brief biography of Shakespeare and a plot overview - what happens in the play? There are brief portraits of the three leading characters (Othello, Iago, Desdemona), then sections on themes, motifs, symbols (the Handkerchief), and a scene by scene textual analysis. It concludes with some specimen questions on the play.

This is an interesting little book which makes some useful points. I'd recommend the York Notes and the Letts Explore series as offering better value for 'A' level or even first year at university, but it's worth remembering that books like these won't pass exams for you. It's worth collaborating with your fellow students and sharing the expense of buying two or three different sets of critical notes - pass them around, talk about them, familiarise yourself with the text.

There is, however, no substitute for reading the play thoroughly, reading it several times, and, ideally, getting to see a live performance or video/DVD of the play. The value of study notes is in helping you focus, assemble ideas, and gain perspectives which inspire you to look at the text differently and help you understand it. They don't offer answers you can parrot in essay or exam - they help you think, they encourage you to learn, but they won't do the work for you.
