Let us see Hamlet the way others do.

This Rocketbook presentation is similar to Cliff's notes. However, being on a DVD with some visual aids helps one concentrate on the meanings and structures of the story.

The target audience is at a junior high level or above.

As with anybody's notes, this is the focus of the Rocketbook people. However, it does take a mainstream analysis and leaves off more exotic speculations.

It uses small bites, usually the size of a scene to describe and then at the end of that description are some A B C D test questions with immediate answers.

Knowing the play backward and forwards I am not sure how helpful this would be for somebody who does not already know the play.
