Answer 1

Here's the best website I've found to help students read Shakespeare's plays:

http://nfs.sparknotes.com/

Click on the title of the play you want, then click on the act and scene. You'll find original Shakespearean language on the left and a modern-day "translation" on the right.

Here are several other really good websites about Shakespeare and his works and his times. Be sure to add ALL THESE to your favorites so you can find them again.

No one will do your work for you. YOU need to read and follow the directions here:

Go to http://nfs.sparknotes.com/

Click on the title of the play you want, then click on the act and scene. You'll find original Shakespearean language on the left and a modern-day "translation" on the right.

The left column will get you to the exact lines you need to read; the right column will give you the meanings.

Let us know what you come up with.

Answer 5

No one is mad at you, Ted. We just want to make sure you are doing your own learning. If someone else does it for you, then you don't get anything out of it.

Find the lines you need by finding the correct act and scene. Then read first the left side and then the right side. The right side is the modern English version. You shouldn't have any trouble with modern English.
