The book is an outstanding version with modern translation of some olde English passages, plus supplemental resources including a character map, plot sequence chart, and comprehension questions. It's a classic of Shakespeare's prowess as a storyteller, compelling characters in compelling circumstances. I recommend the selection for high school readers and beyond, because of the need to understand the depths of passion. ( ) no reviews | add a review
