Help Me Understand Romeo and Juliet!: Includes Summary of Play and Modern Translation

by William Shakespeare, Scott La Counte (Editor)

Overview

You know the story: a tale of star-crossed lovers. It’s timeless. It’s romantic.  It’s tragic. It’s...confusing! If only Shakespeare wasn’t so Shakespeare, right?!

It’s not that Shakespeare is a bad writer--he’s obviously one of the greatest; the problem is his plays were written hundreds of years ago and if you don’t understand the context, the plays can be really confusing.

If you are struggling to get through Romeo and Juliet or if you just want a bit more help, then this book is for you!

Inside you will find summaries of each scene, overview of themes and characters, and even a modern version of the play (right next to the original text, so you can read it together)!

If you wish that Romeo and Juliet were written today (and not hundreds of years ago), then read on!

About the Author

Widely esteemed as the greatest writer in the English language, William Shakespeare (1564-1616) was an actor and theatrical producer in addition to writing plays and sonnets. Dubbed "The Bard of Avon," Shakespeare oversaw the building of the Globe Theatre in London, where a number of his plays were staged, the best-known of which include Romeo and Juliet, Hamlet, and Macbeth. The First Folio, a printed book of 36 of his comedies, tragedies, and history plays, was published in 1623.
