Understanding Macbeth

Hey guys! So, I know Shakespeare's words are beautiful but sometimes I don't know what the heck he is saying. Something that REALLY helped me as I read it the first time was No Fear Shakespeare! My former English teacher encouraged us to use it when we were having trouble understanding. On one column it has the original text of the play and on the column right next to it is modernized text! It's a great way of understanding the play because not only do you have modern and simplified text, but you have the original right next to it so you can still reference yourself. The link to the website is below! Happy reading!

  1. Thanks, this really helped a lot for me personally. It helped making the reading a lot more clear for me. Up to this point in the reading, I have honestly had no clue of what the plot of the story is. I start to understand it when the class or Mrs. Ross stop to explain it, however, when we just read it I space off because I can't follow along. So thanks for the website, it really helped!

  2. Melissa, if you ever find yourself doing this again, stop us from continuing. I am sure your classmates feel the same way as you. They will appreciate your questions.

  3. I appreciate this link because personally sometimes the pacing of the story gets a little hard to grasp, so this really helped.

  5. I wish I would have seen this post a lot sooner. This would have been a tremendous help earlier... but better I get the help later than never, right? Thanks Daycy!
