IGCSE Government Inspector
Description
Written by Nikolai Gogol, Government Inspector is a set text for IGCSE 0475 English Literature exams, scheduled for 2021.
Originally performed in 1836, this play revolves around corruption of officials in an obscure provincial town in a Russian state. This farcical drama spans across 5 acts, in which a well-dressed windbag named Ivan Khlestakov has been mistaken for a government inspector and bribed by village officials to keep mum about their maladministration. Their celebration of success comes to a halt by a significant revelation by the end of the play.
Join this course to partake in the study and analysis of this classic play, which exemplifies itself as a comedy of manners, and explore the various themes and devices used in the play.
