DESCRIPTION:
LC said Great for Students. I am a student who had to read this book and I couldn't understand most of the stuff Shakespeare was writing. We first started to read some other books with the Old English type writing and I got a C- in this class because I couldnt understand it. We just started reading Romeo and Juliet and I had the same problem so I bought this book. Boy, did it help me! I got an A in my class!

Following each act, a closing spread presents questions and discussion points for use as teachers' aids. Books in this new, illustrated series present complete texts of Shakespeare's plays. Guided by the inspiring format of this fine new series, both teachers and students will come to understand and appreciate the genius of Shakespeare as never before.. The plays have endured, but over the course of 400+ years, the English language has changed in many ways--which is why today's students often find Shakespeare's idiom difficult to comprehend. Simply Shakespeare offers an excellent solution to their problem. This lyrical tragedy of two star-crossed lovers and their feuding families is one of the world's most famous love stories. For instance, where words spoken by a person in the play offer insights into his or another character's personality, the "Characters" icon
