About the Book:

In this book, Mr. P. D. Deshpande shows how the protagonists of Shakespeare's tragedies ultimately fall prey to the ‘Crooked Eclipses’ of a rapidly moving chain of events, which are mostly brought upon by their own actions, guided by the peculiar complexity of their mind and their absurdities.

At the same time, he shows how the greatness, sublimity and also imperfection of human life shines through the characters like Hamlet, King Lear, Macbeth, Othello, etc.
