AS an undergraduate I spent hours rooting out precious critical perspectives gathering dust on second hand bookshelves, and all for the sake for a few extra marks on some essay or other. No need to waste time doing that these days. Critical opinions from Hazlett to the Guardian in 1994 are all there ready and waiting, not to mention video and audio footage of scholar's interpretations. There's an overview of costume and set design, and a host of background material on Shakespeare and the play.
The way the sections logically link to each other enhances learning. a hexagon shaped menu includes a characer category, including Juliet. This leads to a pictorial screen of actresses who have taken on the mantel over the years. Incorporate the multimedia section and watch Juliet utter her last breath courtesy of video footage of a BBC production.
