This study guide carefully walks you through every twist and turn of Shakespeare's classic by providing chapter summaries and critical analyses of each act and scene of the play.

  • A character map that graphically illustrates the relationships among the characters
  • Critical essays
  • The history of the play's development, as well as its first performance

Classic literature or modern modern-day treasure — you'll understand it all with expert information and insight from CliffsNotes study guides.

Romeo and Juliet

It was compact. But it helps me to pop back the memory on my head.

Notes for Romeo and Juliet

I would not recommend this for my students. I would purchase a modern day English translation of "Romeo and Juliet" that has the original words on the left side and modern day English on the right side instead of purchasing this. You really can't enjoy Shakespeare this way. Don't cheat yourself from a good education and read only this. Take the time to read the original play along with a good translation. You will be glad that you did.

DONT BUY THIS BOOK

This book is not as great as it is made out to be. It is neither clear, nor good, and is no help in studying!!!

Excellent for Students

It is very easy to understand when compared to the original text on Romeo & Juliet. Great to use for studying for exams and help with essays. What else can i say it's fantastic!
