Tips for Reading Shakespeare

For a beginner, Shakespeare can sometimes seem like a bunch of strange words put together in no reasonable order. Once you learn to read and understand Shakespeare, you’ll understand the beauty of the language. 36

? Understand the importance of “getting it”.

You can never stress the importance of Shakespeare’s works enough. It is clever, witty (诙谐的), beautiful, inspirational, funny, deep, dramatic, and more. Shakespeare was a true word genius whose works help us see the beauty and artistic potential of the English language. Shakespeare’s work has inspired students and scholars for centuries, because it also tells us so much about life, love, and human nature. Shakespeare will expand your mind if you let it.

? Attend a reading or a play.

37 You won’t believe how many expressions and movements of the actors can use to bring to life Shakespeare’s beautiful but plex works. Watch the actors in action and gain a deeper understanding of your text. ? Read it again — and again.

As you progress in school and into college, you must realize that every subject gets more challenging. 38 You’re not going to be successful in your studies if you think you can get through anything quickly — and that is absolutely true for Shakespeare. ? 39 Shakespeare is different from any other piece of literature, because it requires some engagement and active participation. Just try it — you will see that you can suddenly understand the context of the words and expressions. It’s a good idea to work with another person. Why not call your study partner and read to each other? ? Read a plot summary.

Let’s face it — Shakespeare is tough to read and understand, no matter how many times you go through the book. After you have read the work, go ahead and read a summary of the piece you’re working on if you’re pletely confused. Just read a summary and then read the actual work again. 40

A. Act it out.

B. Literature is no different.

C. You won’t believe how much you’ve missed before!

D. Don’t feel too bad if you have a hard time reading Shakespeare.

E. You’ll also find out why it has inspired students and scholars for centuries. F. Shakespeare really makes more sense when you see the words e to life on stage. G. When you study his works, you find that human beings haven’t really changed much over time.
