I just had an AP essay on Julius Caesar about some weird analysis that no one else but my teacher could make. Realize that Shakespeare is also so hard to understand that Sparknotes has their own No Fear Shakespeare place where it translates the books into ENGLISH lol :P

Yeah!
I only know what's going on because our teacher kind of explains what the characters mean in normal English :lol:

haha yes! I've seen that on Sparknotes, too. He is quite difficult to understand sometimes. My one test we had to identify who said what quotes from the play Macbeth, and it's hard enough understanding what was being said to even know who said it haha :? In school I've read Macbeth, Romeo and Juliet, Midsummer Night's Dream and Much Ado About Nothing. I might give Hamlet a go because I just realized recently that TLK was similar but we'll see...hopefully I'll get back into the swing of his language.

It is when you've spoken English for only two years.

I've read quite a lot of Shakespeare's works actually: Hamlet, Macbeth, Much Ado About Nothing, and 12th Night, but I cheated for some of them by reading the simplified versions. :goodnight: In 6th grade my teacher read out parts of A Midsummer Night's Dream so I don't really consider that "reading" it.

Well, yeah, your case is completely understandable. I'm just speaking from personal experience.

I've just finished studying Romeo & Juliet in English and this theatre company came to our school to perform it and it was great :) But I hate writing essays analyzing it :ehh:

Me either. They're just written in old English with a bunch of metaphors :/ Pretty simple if you take your time reading it.
