The preface explains that the notes are not a substitute for reading and studying the play, nor a replacement for a teacher's guidance, but a touchstone against which a student can sharpen his critical faculties and form his own view of the play. Explanatory notes run alongside the text; the notes on each scene comprise a summary, a scene analysis showing the significance of each scene in building up the play as a whole, and a character analysis of the people in the play and their motives.
