I find that I have such a horrible time understanding Shakespeare, I often have to go to sparknotes to understand the text. Are there any methods to better understand his plays?
It also takes me so long to read it because I have to keep on reading the sidenotes. btw i'm in gr10 english and doing merchant of venice. thanks for any tips ---------------------------- Moved to Books.

It's just a matter of reading more and more Shakespeare. There's also that book on Shakespeare....like....the Bible of Shakespearen words. Seriously. It's nothing like Sparknotes, but it provides the "translations" for some of the more difficult sentences.
