Shakespeare On the Double! Series
If you enjoy reading Shakespeare but find the centuries-old English difficult to understand, you will love this parallel text. Each left-hand page contains Shakespeare's original text, while the right-hand page contains a modern translation. While the translation is modern, it's not too modern - it still retains the flavor of Shakespeare's original text. The front of the book contains a brief synopsis of the play, a detailed character list, a visual character map (like a flowchart, with arrows and boxes showing each character's relationship to each other), and a cycle-of-death graphic (with Act and Scene references) showing the sequence of deaths that advance the plot. The back contains approximately 40 questions for reflection. ~ Lisa
